What to do about Iraq

Jeff Jarvis asks, the left what is the solution to Iraq. I replied: To find the solution to Iraq, ask yourself "When should a nation forfeit its sovereignty?" Don't see the connection? That's because nobody who should have asked the question before the war in Iraq ever asked or answered -- not at the United Nations, not at the Arab League, not in any bilateral discussions. Why not? It's the elephant in the room. Until you can justify basic society's minimum requirements, you are not in a position to suggest a solution to Iraq, much less find the courage to demand it. For a hint, refer back to Why democracy -- not because democracy is the answer, but because it talks about why individuals join together.
