You're over three for the day, but I'll overlook that because I'm in a ruthlessly interrogatory mode. Say, not implausibly, that you're organizing an antiwar rally. Some random citizens ask you, "Well, what do you stand for? What should we do in Iraq?" If you answer, "Withdraw and let the Iraqis sort it out," it's likely they'd say, "That's a cop out. We wrecked their country, what should happen now?" How would you respond, with the credibility of the antiwar movement on the line?
