To much of the world, we are a rogue state. We started an offensive war
for no reason and that we now have to finish. Never mind Lawrence. I'll

in Newsweek that we are covertly (not so covertly I guess if Newsweek knows
about it) negotiating with the insurgents in Iraq. We're using diplomacy,
only a bit late. If I can find the link, I'll send it.
