If there's any kind of an advantage, that is it. And this is a reasonable plan. It allows Shiites to make decisions for Shiites, Kurds to make decisions for Kurds, and Sunnis for Sunnis. And best of all, the United States is not making decisions for Iraqis. This might finally give Iraq something to work with, and they might very well feel it's worth a try. They sure as hell don't have anything to lose. It will still be a nightmare, but maybe we can start to see some real progress, not Bush's pretend-a-progress. Joe Biden is demonstrating real leadership with something that could save countless lives. Good lord, let's wake up and nominate this man.
