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.
[/ QUOTE ]Actually, IMHO, the two articles approach the subject from different angles but are essentially proclaiming the same thing : Fold the hand.

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.
[/ QUOTE ] I found both articles to be insightful and well written. The Atlantic usually offers that kind of quality.
