It worked against the French in the Algerian war. It worked against the British in the creation of modern Israel. The US is out of Iraq because of sustained terrorists attacks after "Missions Accomplished" The point of those attacks in western countries is to force their hand and make them withdraw their occupying forces. To rethink their foreign policy and make sure they don't see it as worth it anymore. The biggest hawks were for the Iraq War before they were against. Then the troop body count was getting higher from sniper and IED attacks. A few years later a new president and electorate doesn't see the cost as worth staying and the withdrawal occurs. Terrorists mission accomplished!
