A Terrible Poverty Of Imagination

Isn't that a great line? I have never read anything by this particular author (Mona Charen), but she gives a great treatise on the possible outcome of pulling out of Iraq early. What bothers me about so many Democrats is that it really is so myopic. They do not give any rationale for the pull-out other than that it is bad for the US to occupy Iraq, but they do not consider the alternative. I like the comparison she makes to Vietnam in the article. I think one major difference is that not only will the region immediately deteriorate, but the enemy wants to take the war to our shares and on our soil, and have already shown that they are capable of that. Anyway, good article.
