Speaking of "wish we hadn't gone," I find this, U.S. Warns Iraq It Won't Support Sectarian Goals, maybe the most pathetic thing we've done since the invasion. Not that I'm in favor of sectarianism, but gee whiz, it's their damned country, and if they vote for a sectarian state, shouldn't we say that that's the way the democratic cookie has crumbled? Or is this a way to get the hell out of there and "save face"?<br><br>Whatever we end up doing is bound to be a blunder. We've made our own Catch-22. We're damned if we stay, damned if we don't stay.
