A US Exit Out of Iraq Would Benefit All

John Podesta, Ray Takeyh, and Lawrence J. Korb | February 26, 2008

A Democratic candidate, if elected, needs to end the war in Iraq as promised. ++ US withdrawal would not only allow the US to make progress on domestic issues, but it would also give Iraqis an opportunity to make their own deals and decisions and could create more regional support for Iraq. ++ The idea that leaving Iraq would be "surrendering to evildoers" and simply set the stage for genocide is misguided.

I like this comment! What's this?

"A Democratic president who may enjoy a modest honeymoon in the Middle East simply by virtue of not being George W. Bush can take a giant step toward reclaiming America's practical interests and moral standing by leaving Iraq."

Nope. It will only be a small step.

Three months after his (or her) election, the new US president will not anymore enjoy any honeymoon based on him not being Bush.
