Yesterday, presidential candidate John McCain said "We have incurred a moral responsibility in Iraq. It would be an unconscionable act of betrayal, a stain on our character as a great nation, if we were to walk away from the Iraqi people." We don't want to abandon the Iraqi people to the violence and confusion that we unleashed, but ordering the deaths of more American soldiers in Iraq will not bring about peace. A military solution is not possible. So in desperation, to end the loss of life on all sides, I would offer the following deal.
If the factions will agree to stop killing each other, we will immediately withdraw all troops and deliver former President George Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney to the Iraqi High Court to stand trial for war crimes.
