Time for Plan B

By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
Published: August 4, 2006

Times Select piece... an excerpt:

It is now obvious that we are not midwifing democracy in Iraq. We are baby-sitting a civil war.

....

But the administration now has to admit what anyone — including myself — who believed in the importance of getting Iraq right has to admit: Whether for Bush reasons or Arab reasons, it is not happening, and we can’t throw more good lives after good lives.

...

The longer we maintain a unilateral failing strategy in Iraq, the harder it will be to build such a coalition, and the stronger the enemies of freedom will become.

[edit] I want to add, I don't agree with his Plan B strategy... it's a waste of time and more importantly, a waste of lives.
