Iraq's Future

Where will we go now? No one is pleased with how it is going in Iraq. Some would want us to simple declare victory and pull out (Molly Ivins this week). Others think WE should just divide up the country into three parts and leave. Of course we have established an elected government that has the say about what happens in Iraq. So it no longer is our decision.
Fareed Zakaria in Newsweek this week has said ...

None of the surrounding nations would benefit if Iraq actually did collapse, setting off territorial disputes, sending refugees into neighboring lands and exporting Iraq's instability. Such an outcome can still be avoided, but only with active support from these countries.

So let's start talking to the Saudis, Syrians, Turks, and yes the Iranians and get some help settling down the situation and bring some stability so that we can leave!
