A Plan

Don't know how I missed this article, especially given I subscribe to the damn magazine, but it's a good one about our efforts in Iraq and how we mistakenly treat it like Vietnam, both from the right and left. The major difference, he argues, is that we are not fighting a nationalist insurgency trying to take control of the apparatus of central government, but rather a communal civil war in which different parties are worried about protecting their own group safety. Anyhow, the article is well worth reading.
