...Ways To Prevent Iraq From Getting Even Worse" [Oct. 30]: Your recommendations contained one major flaw. They would be implemented by an Administration that has proved its total incompetence. Only an approach that transfers all decision making to non-Americans has any hope of success. Ideally, that would mean Iraqis, but the current situation is so chaotic that external assistance is a necessity. President George W. Bush and his cronies have messed up so badly that the only reasonable first step is a U.S. mea culpa on Iraq...
...more tax credits and subsidies to help companies develop green and renewable energy. The President, who said in his last State of the Union address that "America is addicted to oil," is scheduled to talk up hybrid and ethanol-powered flex-fuel cars this week. And his market-centric approach may find an ally in Michigan's John Dingell, the Democrat who will be in charge of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Their inner circle huddled last month in Newport News, Va., at the christening of the aircraft carrier named after the former President. They discussed the need for a change to a more pragmatic approach. The cadre included Scowcroft, Baker, Powell and Lawrence Eagleburger (now in Baker's study group) as well as their soft-spoken and clear-minded longtime colleague Robert Gates, who has now been tapped to be Defense Secretary. In addition, the intellectual godfather of contemporary realists, Henry Kissinger...
