I agree with this op ed piece. It doesnt tell us what to do now. It doesnt tell us if a larger US force then would have prevented the insurgency. What it tells me that one should not go to war unless one is attacked or there is a clear national interest reason. The reasons here were hyped. I dont believe bush lied but the admin hyped the intel that we later found out was bad. So when should we go to war is a question that we need to answer going forward. Humanitarian reasons like in kosovo is one reason but it has to be doable which ruanda, a much larger mess, perhaps was not. Liberals need to be real careful as well, not to follow a clinton type leader into a morass as they did with LBJ. Wilsonianism is just as potentially dangerous as neocon fp can be. I guess both libs and cons need to get back to realism but of course realism is always decried when a Sudan issue pops up.
