The political problem in Iraq more troops won’t address
Watch Iraqi MP Mish’an Al-Jabouri and Iraqi journalist Sadeq Al-Musawi debating on Al-Jazeera on January 2nd over the execution of Saddam Hussein. (I came across this via James Fallows). One is Sunni and the other Shiite – both prominent in their respective communities.
Listen to them and then consider the Bush administration’s proposal for a surge in troops. Isn’t this an attempt to impose a military solution on a political problem? If this political problem is not addressed quickly then there is no limit to the number of American troops needed to quell the violence.
