re: What you and Elroy fail to acknowledge that doing nothing is a legitimate option. That leaving what happens in Iraq up to the Iraqis and not the US is a reasonable position to take. You think that the US must do something because that's what your leaders tell you must happen. Sometimes doing something is doing nothing. Everybody, both sides, should read Breaking Ranks by Jeffrey Goldberg, in the current New Yorker. A great article wrt the "realists" vs. the "idealist" in foreign policy. Especially Elroy and Mindmeld. 97% of the time we "do nothing", and 99% of the time it's the right thing to do. John
