Louis Proyect has demonstrated nothing with his post under this thread
except to show that he knows how to paint images with broad strokes that are
not designed to help us understand anything about the situation in Iraq or
the positons that people or organizations hold about the situation in Iraq
and the best way forward.

The mistaken notion that an abandonment of Iraq after 13 years of war and
sanctions will better the lives of anyone anywhere is completely mistaken.
So let's assume that we do not favor abandoning the people of Iraq. What is
the sensible and meaningful (i.e. has to be something that can be
practically achievable as things are now) way forward?


Best,
