Actually, "if" the US can suceed in Iraq, we may have taken the first step needed to solve the problem.
But you are right, the extremists on "both" sides are making this harder then it should be.

That's a pretty big "if"...even now the extremists see the US as foreign occupiers (rightly or wrongly)...I am not a big believer in any domino theory however - didn't happen in Vietnam and I don't think it'll happen in the Middle East (I hope I am wrong, but I just can't see it).
If Iraq is going to be used as a base to project american power in the Middle East - thus allowing the US to move out of Saudia Arabia - I don't see an end to a continuing insurgency...ad infinitum...
