Andrew Sullivan says a reader nails it regarding the surge and Iraq. As I said yesterday I agree with this. The reader's letter goes a little astray at the end.
"Is there some earthly reason to think that the Iraqis are more likely to put together a democratic government that is capable of unifying and securing the country just because they have some relative peace and quiet? Why would that matter?"
Well it is reasonable to believe that that it's easier to get things done when your meetings aren't being blown up. But that doesn't mean that the parties will succeed and come together in agreement, no matter how much peace there is (or if that's even what they want).
