"Bringing in Arab League troops to keep the peace may not be what Washington wants to hear. But it may be the most viable way to ease Mr. Bush's campaign worries while ensuring Iraq's long-term stability."
--Dilip Hiro in today's NYT
Liberalism was once considered the property of the intelligentsia, but I have a hard time believing that this is the academia and if it is, the country is done for. Sure, now that Saddam is gone, let's turn management of the country back over to the same nations whose people have been infiltrating Iraq for the past weeks to create turmoil in the country. The Arab League cares nothing for peace and stability in Iraq and has a vested interest in keeping the democratization process from fruition, as when they see democracy working in an Arab country, their own people will begin to see their regimes as (justly) tyrannical. This "brilliant" move by the Left shows their desperation to wreck the peace in Iraq any way they can. It's good thing the President does not have an advisor from the NYT's editorial team on his staff. It would be the same as taking the viper to one's breast.
