...quite possibly chaotic. It seems increasingly clear that a new government cannot be created by the U.S. alone. And so Bush should ask for help--not from the U.N., at least not yet, but from the six countries that are Iraq's immediate neighbors--Saudi Arabia, Syria, Jordan, Turkey, Kuwait, and, yes, Iran. He should invite the Presidents of all six, as well as Tony Blair, to a conference on the future of Iraq...
...incredibly delicate negotiations lie ahead. The proud, powerful and well-organized majority Shi'ites will have to cut a deal with the proud, well-organized, not so powerful Kurds. (If the Kurds are given an excuse to declare their independence, both Turkey and Iran--countries with large, freedom-seeking Kurdish populations--will be destabilized, and a Turkish invasion of northern Iraq is a good bet.)

The protesters accused the government of responding inadequately to the quake, which measured 6.4 on the Richter...
...become a modern-day Roman Empire is the fact that, well, we’ve already had the chance and chosen to pass on it. Oh, sure, some point to our military bases around the world, and others use globalization as proof of informal U.S. imperialism. Yet Turkey has long hosted American troops, and it flatly denied our requests for basing and transit rights during the Iraqi campaign. If we really were an empire, then surely we would’ve used our established presence to force those concessions...
