Continuing on this theme, I think Suzanne Nossel's post from Feb. 28 is well worth reading.

I suppose my own position would be closest to that of Rep. Murtha–that is, the real Murtha position, which was not “immediate and total withdrawal,” as opposed to the version Republicans masterfully spun as Murtha’s alleged proposal.

I take the point. However, I do hve to think that an immediate and toal withdrawalk would have grave security implications for the region and our long-term interests, but it is worth having the discussion, I will grant.

I don’t feel any obligation to keep throwing future generation’s treasure and current generation’s lives after a losing cause. If anyone has an obligation here, it is the constituency that supported this administration’s recklessness. Let them pay higher taxes and otherwise bear the burden, and then we can start talking about “obligations.”
