Eliot A. Cohen, the director of the Center for Strategic Studies at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, wrote this month in The Wall Street Journal an article, which the White House e-mailed to reporters because it concluded that a withdrawal of American troops would be disastrous. Mr. Cohen wrote that "a junta of military modernizers might be the only hope of a country whose democratic culture is weak, whose politicians are either corrupt or incapable." But he also highlighted the downsides of returning to a strongman government. You have to ask yourself, what was the point of the invasion if we go back to a Saddam-type rule. How many have died to reach this sort of end?
