You are indeed correct (oringially meant for ISM but it applies to JW as well).

Victory....my definition doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things.

Establishment of a constitutional democracy (whether parliamentary, direct, representative, whatever) in which the elected government has the capability militarily to protect itself and the people from the overthrow of that government.

This is as far as I am comfortable defining it. Do I hope it goes beyond that? Certainly, in terms of establishing an ally and a US friendly democracy in the region.

Go ahead. Rip it apart. I'm sure it will be.
