I find it very encouraging, that core Bush team members (Pipes, Rumsfeld), are stepping back and re-evaluating.

Pipes is saying (and I'm very surprised and gratified to hear it, from someone like him) the same things I've been saying for a long time:

1. there is no chance of imposing a settlement by force on Iraq.
2. any non-Muslim army that tries to rule any Muslim population, anywhere, will face an endless war, and eventually be defeated. The only armies that can pacify Muslim populations are Muslim armies.
3. we need to start listening to the French, and following their good advice
4. time is not on our side. The longer we try to control the ground, the more armed resistance we will provoke.
