1. What about working with the UN or other humanitarian agencies?
What about asking for Arab League help to establish a commission to aid them in accelerating the pace of partition, which is what is gonna happen anyway...

You don't have sufficient options to make this a reasonable poll. It's pretty much LET THEM DIE or go for a military option, or support one "side" against the others.

There are more choices than that....

3. I agree that I should have included more options.
Another one is: provide US soldiers to serve in a UN peacekeeping/peacemaking mission in Iraq under UN command.

5. Pull out, and provide NOTHING to ANYONE.
We've done enough, and frankly, I don't think that that hellhole is worth one more thin dime, not to mention any more American lives.
