But the disorder is overwhelming the occupation forces, and would be exacerbated by their withdrawal. Bring Them Home Now! addresses the illegitimacy of the occupation, but not the instability of Iraq. Independence, to say nothing of democracy, is a chimera for an Iraq in the throes of social disintegration.
This eclipses the prospect Chris raises of multinationals parading into Iraq. Their free market cannot operate without a functioning state, which Iraq does not have. Ending the occupation should be the ultimate goal of the anti-war movement. However, it should not be pursued through de facto advocacy of "bad anarchy" in Iraq.
