I know you will never accept his conclusion. It will be interesting to hear your reasons for rejecting it.
Hmm, we'll see. Right now I'm looking at his argument as to why other options will not work. Very well argued.
But, the final place I will read carefully, is his link between invasion and the necessity to reconstitute Iraq as a democratic society. Is that his position? How much evidence does he advance? If it is a strong argument, and I conclude the Bush folk and, for that matter, the American public, is more than unlikely to be able to do that, does that argue, in Pollack's view for no invasion.
And, something else which is beginning to percolate in my mind, given he makes oil policy so central, is it really, at least over the longer term? Russian oil, whatever. |
