...calls are growing for the Administration to revamp its strategy for bringing Iraq under control and establishing the conditions for a rapid transfer of power to Iraqis. None of the options are painless, and all risk making things worse before they get better. But the U.S. cannot afford to wait until Iraq becomes an unwinnable quagmire. Here are three possible options to prevent that...

It is critical, if the U.S. is to maintain any credibility in the eyes of Iraqis, to get on with at least a symbolic transfer of power, even if a significant number of troops remain and real authority will mostly be wielded out of a new 3,000-person U.S. embassy.

But considering that prices range from $199 for the Nokia 3650 and $350 for the Sanyo VM4500, you might want to wait for the next generation. The mini-movies on these camcorder phones are grainy, and sending clips via e-mail is clumsy because common keyboard symbols, like @ and _, are hard to find on all three phones. The clips are meant to take only a few minutes to transmit...
