Newsweek's advice for Bush now that Iraq is in turmoil: Bush, for his part, has to wake up to reality. To borrow a phrase from conservative columnist Pat Buchanan, the president has to quit “succumbing to the whispers of neocon tempters about Churchillian immortality” and look at the options actually in front of him. If he wants the help of the rest of the wide world, he’s got to quit coddling his cozy little circle of friends. There can be no guarantees for favored companies like Halliburton and the American oil interests. And if we want peace with Iraq’s neighbors, especially Iran and Syria, we’d be wise to quit threatening them, and prudent to give up the notion we’ll be creating major military bases right on their borders. Finally, Bush, and Kerry, too, had better realize that Iraq is not going to be a beacon of democracy in the region anytime soon. It’s enough just to keep it from becoming a black hole. So let the Iraqis choose who they will as leaders, and live with it.
