A Third Way for Iraq

Amitai Etzioni writes in The Huffington Post A Third Way for Iraq. It draws from his new book Security First.

"Is there a way for the United States not to withdraw from Iraq and yet increase security and greatly cut its casualties? Two recent detailed reports of the facts on the ground strongly suggest that there is such a third way between folding and endlessly raising the stakes. Both point to the merit of letting each community largely provide for its own security."

I'm certainly not qualified to evaluate it, but it sounds reasonable.
