The Democrat Answer to Iraq

OK... So far this morning I've seen Wesley Clark and Tom Daschle asked about what we should do in Iraq. Both plans (which is really one talking point) start with the idea that America should give up control to an international authority. First, which groups have left Iraq? That's right, the UN and the Red Cross. Why did they leave? They were attacked by the same miscreants making trouble for the US and British troops. Now the Italians have suffered from a tremendous attack; which all of us regret. My question is why do the Democrats believe that having more countries on the ground in Iraq will make it any less dangerous. The implication is that the dead-enders hate America, everyone else is safe. That fantasy may have had some credence before the attack on the Red Cross. Sure, we might save some cash but we've also seen how impossible it is to reach agreement in a body where individual countries are far more self-interested then charitable. We've seen the battle for control of Iraq within in Bush Administration, imagine now having to deal with France and Germany again. It's not a pretty sight.
