Right about one thing
She's right that we need to figure out what to do now. It's actually quite easy:
1) Remove our troops.
2) Bring in humanitarian aid and resettlement experts.
3) Assess the size of the reparations.
4) Put the perpetrators on trial in an international tribunal.
The best way to do this is to offer an olive branch to the neocons: Your surge worked, and so now we are no longer facing an imminent bloodbath. That means the troops may be withdrawn immediately. Thank you very much. You are under arrest for mass murder.
Then, having acknowledged their expertise appropriately, put them in orange suits with those really nifty pieces of jewelry that go around the wrists and ankles, with the shiny steel chain between them, and shuffle them off to the Hague. Meanwhile, raise the top tax bracket to 75%, pay the reparations out of the pockets of the slime that got rich off this administration's domestic policies, and use the remaining funds to start paying down our foreign debts.
