One of the most important things to do is take away the "pipeline" that feeds them, which in Iraq is mostly the occupation and the corruption of the "reconstruction".

We may not be able to just cut and run, but we CAN make a timetable for withdrawl. It might be the case that insurgents would use it to their advantage, but I think they'd be hurt far more by a concrete sign that we actually do intend to leave.

Another thing to do is a wholesale cleanup of the reconstruction contracting, taking it away from the profiteers and into the hands of people who are actually intersted in rebuilding their country.
