The Iraq Debate
By Patrick Appel
Matt writes:
Until these past couple of weeks it wasn't even controversial to say
that if the Iraqi government wants us to go, we should go. The debate
was about whether we should go even if they want us to stay.
Here's how Marc phrases the dilemma we are left with:
...the
political class has determined that Barack Obama was right about the
Iraq war and that John McCain was right about the Surge. Does one right
trump another? Or, as the war re-polarizes along party lines, do they
cancel each other out? And it's clear that the Iraqi government wants
U.S. troops out more quickly than John McCain does, whilst U.S.
generals want to send troops home more slowly than Obama does. Who
trumps who?
