But the US is afraid to go to the security council. I'm interested to see how that will work out. Some talk of new resolutions- but the US is "cool" on the whole thing.

So how do you think it will work out?

The Bush Doctrine
or
Donnelly at the AEI

I see that several posters are having trouble finding a clear synopsis of the Bush Doctrine. Donnelly at the AEI published this piece in May and it needs updating but it should help if people are not clear on what the Bush Doctrine sounds like, most of the world now knows how it works (not well at all). This is a fairly comprehensive editorial that outlines the Bush Doctrine using extensive quotes and references. This article is dated, many of the main supports for the Bush Doctrine have proven unworkable.

There are other fairly coherent accounts.

I anticipate that it is going to be a lot harder than that to get the United States out of Iraq, the US is going to have provide considerable support in Iraq, both military and economic. Americans should read the the CSIS study, it is a clear look at what is required in Iraq. If you are an American or a Brit, do your own DD.
