Interesting plan. No chance, as the same character disorders which got us into the mess couldn't possibly do it. Bush & Co. don't even want to talk with Iran, Syria, al-Sadr, etc. Fat chance for a political settlement, no chance for a military settlement.

Maybe Bush could convert to Islam, and there could be a religious settlement. With one group, which could exterminate the other.

Interestingly, Saddam's brutalities were to avoid a civil war. Same position Bush finds himself in, and there should be the same penalties.

I read some of TB, none of SDAIs stuff, but then he doesn't need anyone to read them.

Bush has created a large haven for terrorists, created terrorists where there were none before, energized them, motivated their friends and families, and lost the sympathy of the ROW. And America is safer?
