Why not ask the people affected? That's what Scott Turow, novelist, thinks we should do with regard to withdrawing from Iraq. In a Wall Street Journal op-ed he proposes a plebiscite that asks the Iraqis one question: Should American forces remain in Iraq until a stable democratic order emerges, however long that takes, or should we instead withdraw in stages over a fixed period, say, the next twelve months?
The answer would be valuable input into a reasoned decision.
