Iraq and America's Role in the World: What's Next? Whether war in Iraq was, or was not, necessary, only history can now say. In retrospect, repeated references to "weapons of mass destruction" seem largely irrelevant. The issue now is "what's next"? Here are some clues to look for: (1) will the Bush adminsitration move quickly to end terrorism in Israel and the Palestinian territories, roll back settlements, and push for a Palestinian state as promised; (2) will we lead the Syrians to believe they are next for invasion; (3) and will we ask other nations to help rebuild Iraq. How the administration responds to these questions will suggest whether we truly are launching into a dangerous new world of "go-it-alone". [Gary Hart News Blog] 1:14:21 PM
