Tipping Point?
Posted by Pejman Yousefzadeh on Thu Jul 06, 2006 at 12:04:05 PM EST
I certainly agree that we have a lot of foreign policy challenges out in the world today. I am not sure, however, how Iraq is identified as the problem that keeps us from dealing with all others. There is no quantification of time spent on Iraq that could be spent on other problems. There isn't even the remotest attempt to measure how working on Iraq has supposedly kept us from working on other problems. It may be easy to say that Iraq is the obstacle to a comprehensive resolution regarding the various other foreign policy challenges there are and that the continuing reconstruction effort in Iraq makes it the straw that has cracked the back of American foreign policy. But just because something is labeled a tipping point doesn't necessarily make the label correct.
