Having A Responsible Debate On Iraq
Posted by Pejman Yousefzadeh on Sat Jul 21, 2007 at 03:36:29 PM EST
The Washington Post takes the noble road and urges Senator Reid to work to craft a bipartisan Iraq consensus. As we have seen, of course, Senator Reid appears to be more focused on his partisan duties than his leadership role as the man charged with handling the steering wheel of the Senate. Given that mass killings of an abominable scale could become the norm in Iraq in the aftermath of a precipitous pullout, one would hope that Senator Reid remembers that the role of the Senate Majority Leader involves at times transcending purely partisan activities and working for the good of the country through the creation of consensus.
But such an epiphany appears unlikely in the near term. Those who genuinely care for the welfare of Iraq should be deeply worried about the fact that the Senate Majority Leader dismisses questions and concerns regarding the possibility of mass killings in the aftermath of a precipitous American withdrawal as being "hypothetical."
