they step in.

It's odd that so many still have no clue how close Kerry and Kofi Annan are. Or Kerry's relationship with other world leaders.

Kerry has discussed this extensively with them, and he knows the only way the UN and our allies will come in to keep Iraq from dissolving into civil war is if the US strengthens its force NOW to bring about some measure of stability.

You can denigrate it all you want, but, it's unlikely that there is any other way out of Iraq that would be as wise, in the long run.
