No one wishes to occupy a country. But after the instability in Iraq and a cost nearing 400 combat deaths the Democrats are now not merely questioning the tactics of achieving democracy in Iraq, but the entire notion of occupation itself. But once they go down that road they will discover history is not on their side and will be hard put to offer better alternatives to the present course.
That’s what I’m interested to hear from the Democrats. It’s too late to complain about invading Iraq. What do they intend to do with the reality that we are there already? Pull out and let Iraq sink into chaos? Send the UN? Something else?
