Re: Winning Ugly
I think our strained relationship with the Saudis might break if we condoned the slaughter of Sunni Muslims in Iraq for the purpose of the creation a somewhat strong and independent power as its neighbor.
If this slaughter is required let it happen after the US has left, I don't want to be part of a military that allows the soldiers it trains to exacts genocide on another country's minority commmunity.

Four stage strategy from Yes, Minister:
Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

Excellent, excellent point. That alone torpedoes Kondracke's modest proposal, I believe.Originally Posted by spmetla
