How To End Iraq War
A simple strategy... It makes sense, that is why you know the Bushites will not go for it...
First, as a confidence-building measure, the US government must... [announce] a clear shift in policy from military occupation to a conflict resolution model.
Second, instead of claiming there are no plans for withdrawal... the Administration [should] declare its intention to end the occupation and bring the troops home in months, not years.
Third, the US will have to request the United Nations, or a body blessed by the United Nations, to establish protocols to monitor the military cease-fires, de-escalation, disengagement and ultimate withdrawal.
Fourth, the US must request that the United Nation or a related body take the lead in organizing a peaceful reconstruction effort.
Fifth... the US government should immediately appoint a peace envoy independent of the occupation authorities to underscore a new commitment to an entirely different mission.
