Last time I checked, it wasn’t just “Najaf” or Sistani who wanted withdrawal, it was three-quarters of the Iraqi population. I’m growing rather tired of the “wishing will make it so” school of thought on Iraq. They want us gone, and–in case you haven’t noticed–most of us want the US to get out of that snakepit too. So what’s the problem? Shall we continue to pretend that the average American cares what happens to Iraq after we withdraw? If Maliki’s making a mistake, so be it. No one I know still cares what happens to the Iraqis.
