Sometimes it feels good when someone with more "weight" agrees with you! Since it is clear to many of us that we cannot "win" in Iraq, however such a word could be defined, the only option to enlist the cooperation of other nations.
While Madeline Albright did not reference any need for admitting responsibility for the tragic initiative, she advocates the need to enlist France, Germany and England (as well as Syria, Jordan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia (Iran represents a conundrum).
"A coordinated international effort could help Iraq by patrolling borders, aiding reconstruction, further training its army and police, and strengthening legislative and judicial institutions. It could also send a unified message to Iraq's sectarian leaders that a political power-sharing arrangement that recognizes majority rule and protects minority rights is the only solution and is also attainable."
Our best hope for salvaging a positive outcome, viz., stability, seems to lie with our enlisting the support of other nations.
Begging for help should not be ruled out!
