"The best response is to get Iraq people to take charge of their responsibilities."

Easier said that done. Can't do that until the iraqi people are convinced that there will be no return of saddam. And for that america has to be perceived as being committed for the long haul, thus more troops? And to stop terrorism we need to be more intrusive, not less and that creates ill feelings on the ground. All the ingrediants present for a quagmire. Enter the UN, iraqs version of arafat--Cant live with them; cant live without them. MIke

PS Maybe we should have just cut a deal with iraq back in 1991. Let him have the corporation of kuwait in exchange for US modernization of the oil industry. He could have pumped his way to control of saudi arabia. How cynical of me? It was not something that was not suggested by others war objectors back in 1991. Maybe i am just getting a bit sick of the hyper moralists of both right and left. What would Kissinger have done? <g>
