Running Quickly

Exit Strategy - How to leave Iraq in three simple steps

This humorous piece oversimplifies the situation in Iraq, but it still does a good job of shedding light on the Iraqi predicament: as long as they keep killing us, we're forced to stick around and defend ourselves, but the moment they stop killing us--the moment they'll actually be ready to accept our help in making a better life--we're going to run like hell. Anyhow, it's pretty clear that Saunders is about as serious as Swift was about eating babies, but that doesn't mean the article isn't relevant--and rib-tickling.

I have zero faith that we will leave that country on good footing without a massive international force. Then again i believe once an international force goes in, i am sure that they will be shot at also.
