It's Time

Here's David Broder in today's Washington Post:

The point is that history and economics have their own logic. A military mission that fails to yield a victory does not always presage disaster. Today, virtually no one argues that we should have continued fighting the North Koreans or the Viet Cong and the North Vietnamese.

Can we think about the costs of carrying on, without an end in sight, against Hezbollah and the insurgents in Iraq?

Translation: Getting out of North Korea and Vietnam was the right thing to do. Getting out of Iraq is also the right thing to do.
