Dennis Kucinich on Iraq
Congressman Dennis Kucinich has published his “plan” for extricating the U.S. from Iraq. Kucinich doesn't have a plan--he has a wish list. Get the U.N. to manage the reconstruction of Iraq? Come on!
He's right about one thing. The British certainly owe reparations for having set Iraq up in the first place, after WWI, as a Sunni-run source of oil. The U.S. owes reparations for allowing Bush to invade the country and screw up the tolerable, although distressingly repressive status quo ante.
Maybe the only way out will involve paying Moqtada Al Sadr to lead a Shia takeover on condition that he control if not disband his and other violent militias.
