"Now what's your solution?"

Well, I've said to you already that I favor the U.S. staying in Iraq (now that the dice have been rolled) until maximum opportunity has been realized. Otherwise, the entire sacrifice has been negated.

As to the solution to world problems of terrorism and savagery, well--it is obviously a problem larger than any one country. I have said that a united framework for action must be detailed and addressed. Shaking your head and saying, "it can't be done," certainly ensures that it won't. You are very good at showing the obstacles but I'm afraid that looking at obstacles does not work through them.

All the major powers certainly recognize the threat of terrorism and WMD. So it is a matter of dialogue, persuasion, manipulation of self interest, etc., etc., etc. It is not a matter to be resolved by isolation or retreat from dialogue.
