runes,

I appreciate you trying to find a middle ground, but what you propose is another "half solution" and that's what we did after Gulf War I.

That an all out war, while producing the most certain outcome, would also be the most destructive solution.

I don't share your assumption that it will be that this is the most destructive solution.

Remember the old wive's tale about a man who heard his neighbor's cat screaming bloody murder every morning about the same time. After a month of this, the man asked his neighbor what was happening and she told him that she was cutting off the cat's tail and since she didn't want to hurt the cat, she was cutting it off a little bit at a time.

Sounds good to me. As does the Iranian suggestion that a referandum by Iraqies under the UN decides how Iraqies should govern, i.e. no war, no occupation, a transition in peace with UN peace keepers as the enforcers.
