GST and you are too funny.

Can we take a logical look at the situation in Iraq from an options standpoint?

1.- Keep on truckin' with the US and its allies as the sole powers in Iraq. It's OK with me, but it's expensive, difficult, and risky. And frought with political risks.

2.- Some variant of the UN plan advocated by Kerry. OK with me, too, though the US will be the laboring oar.

3.- Immediate pullout. A disaster.

Neither you nor GST like no. 1 or no. 2. Unless either of you are far more brilliant than you have thus far shown, and have concocted a secret Nixon-like plan whose details have not been thought about by all the policy wonks whose jobs are to look at options, you favor no. 3, the one which is a complete disaster from any angle it's examined.

Good work. Good thinking.
