Paris, France - There is no way for the U.S. to withdraw from Iraq now. The occupation may have been handled in a deplorably, but that's no reason to mess up the next phase. The administration and the Democratic Congress should agree on a timetable for progressive withdrawal. This must be discussed with the Iraqi authorities.
Meanwhile, the political process in Iraq must be improved. A federal system should be created that includes as many levels of devolution as necessary -- certainly more than just a Kurdish, a Shia and a Sunni entity. As it is, the last two are far more inextricably linked than currently admitted.
