The Maverick Philosopher Gets the Last Word

The Maverick Philosopher has responded to this post continuing our exchange on Iraq.

His conclusion:

So perhaps the upshot is this. Although the war in Iraq was not a diversion from the war on terror as Kerry and others claim, it is nonetheless arguable that given what we know (or at least justifiably believe) now, the war in Iraq was ill-advised and led to a misuse of resources.



But the important question is what to do now. If we ‘cut and run,’ a bad result is assured. But if we ‘stay the course,’ there is a good chance of a stable and more or less democratic Iraq.
