OK, a post about Iraq

Sorry for getting political here.

Read this post about what the US could actually do at this point to prevent civil war in Iraq and start moving towards some kind of stability. I've always thought that keeping our troops there is just making things worse; this guy makes the case against that while still addressing the problems created by having our troops there at all. And he makes the tremendously important point that US reconstruction money for Iraq needs to be going to Iraqi construction companies and not American corporations. Worth reading.

Thanks to Talking Points Memo for the link.
