Now we are reaping the whirlwind. This is now an insurgency. Our choices are to stay and bleed a while while we search for peace with honor, or follow the Israeli model and respond with overwhelming force and ruthlessness. I believe the bleeding has to stop before the election. If not we have to admit we made a mistake and get out without causing a civil war. The best way to do this is hand the mess over to the UN. World opinion already falls on the side of a mistake so we gain more than we lose. The association between the administration and the population is still tentative wrt world opinion. An election in favor of the current administration would join the population of the US and the administration in the world view. An election that changed the administration would give the US an opportunity to change policy and save face. That doesn't solve the IRAQ problem as such but it provides the opportunity to do so. The challenge would be to figure out how to help the new administration help the UN to solve the problem. Zeuspaul
