This afternoon I had a chance to read two articles in the new Atlantic Monthly on the situation in Iraq looking at the problem from different viewpoints.
The first is
If America Left Iraq - The case for cutting and running by a new contributor Nir Rosen.
The cover article is
Why Iraq Has No Army by James Fallows. Fallows has written four outstanding articles on Iraq, including the apply named "Iraq - the Fifty-First State" that foretold much of the current mess.
Worth reading as usual. Comments appreciated.
