Atrios thinks the US should get out of Iraq as soon as possible:
I have to admit I basically agree with Max. The “we broke it we bought it” crowd assumes that somehow if we just stick it out things will get better. Whether we’re concerned about our national interests or the interests of Iraqis, I just don’t see how staying furthers either of those.
The truth is, this position isn’t any different than that of the Democratic candidates or the Bush administration’s official position. They simply have higher hopes about what can be accomplished, but unless we plan to make Iraq an American colony the position of just about everybody is “let’s get out as soon as we can.” The Max view is that there’s nothing much to be accomplished by staying, and I tend to agree. We may be wrong, but the view that we just have to try and make things better presupposes that there’s much we can do.
Which is what I said all along, here for instance.
