Andrew Sullivan has an interesting thought on the alternative to withdrawing soon from Iraq. Here’s the dilemma: if you believe that “cutting and running” is wrong but you also believe that the Bush administration is waging this war incompetently, what’s the alternative? As he says:

What do you all think? Should the US clean up the mess it made, even if the cause of war was unjustified, or is withdrawing the lesser of two evils?
