leave your prejudices at home

Still possible with a change of personnel.

keep your ambitions low

Still possible to reduce death through violence, by a massive campaign of disarming the urban areas.

have enough resources to do the job

200,000 troops, minimum. It'd be a full national commitment on the US's part.

make security your first priority

In line with point 2, make it the only priority.

involve the neighbours

To an extent they've already done this with some success in the Kurdish North, but not enough. Inviting the UAE, Syria and Iran to participate in reconstruction for a share of the spoils might help.
