I'm getting sick and tired of writing about foregin policy. It's really the same thing over and over. US policy sucks, our options are even worse, and inertia is setting in. On the positive side, Bush & Co. are set to take a nasty fall over the whole mess.
So I'm going to change subjects.
But before I do, here's James Dobbins, former U.S. Special Envoy in Kosovo, Bosnia, Haiti, Somalia, and Afghanistan, talking about how bad we suck, specifically in reference to Iraq.
Money quote: By losing the trust of the Iraqi people, the Bush administration has already lost the war in Iraq. Moderate Iraqis can still win it, but only if they wean themselves from Washington and get support from elsewhere. To help them, the United States should pull out its troops as soon as it can without jeopardizing the elections, train Iraqis to beat the insurgency on their own, and rally Iran and European allies to the cause.
Sounds easy right?
