The New York Times > Opinion > Op-Ed Columnist: Saving the Iraqi Children: "Lately, I've been quiet about the war because it's easy to rail about the administration's foolishness last year but a lot harder to offer constructive suggestions for what we should do now. President Bush's policy on Iraq has migrated from delusional - we would be welcomed with flowers, we should disband the Iraqi army, security is fine, the big problem is exaggerations by nervous Nellie correspondents - to reasonable today. These days, the biggest risk may come from the small but growing contingent on the left that wants to bring our troops home now."
But this is not an either-or choice! The choice is not between staying the course and leaving now. The reason we can't imagine other possibilities is that we haven't even tried to think of them. Let's stop now to think about what we should do, and leave aside the options that clearly won't work.
