And an attempt to limit the damage being done daily to the Unioted States and our world reputation. (This war has greatly damaged us in diplomatic circles. We have lost a great deal of leverage and we have lost a lot of moral authority.)

Mr. Kerry made a case that the real solution to this war will come from the Iraqis themselves in a political solution. We are targets there and may be such a focal point for Iraqi hatred that we are, by our very presence, preventing political forces from seeking and getting a political solution that might make for a better government.

I think it might help to pull in the Sunnis. Mr. Kerry stated that his breifings with the military this year show that most of the insurgency is Sunni (2% are foreign fighters.) The rest of the region has a huge stake in how this comes out and in not having an Iranian dominated Middle East. What is holding this back. (Condi said they are starting to work on this, Kerry stated that he found this 'stunningly late.')

BTW, I am going to reference a wikipedia entry. Lots of good stuff here and a link to Iraq shows maps and stuff. Can't tell the actors without a program, after all. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraqi_insurgency
