In my view, the idea of sending more U.S. troops into Iraq, under any conditions, is completely unacceptable. We should not have been there in the first place, we should- n’t be there now, and we should not be there in the future. We are wasting lives — American and non-American — in pursuit of a bogus war against terrorism (as William Pfaff puts it, “as if terrorism were a country”) in which there clearly will be no “winner.” We have increased the world’s image of the U.S. as an international bully. We have spent vast amounts of money on this misad- venture at the same time as we have seen states, communities, and individuals suffer worse economic conditions than many can re- member. Lieberman’s willingness to commit even more troops would make the situation even worse. I urge him — and all of us — to consider carefully the folly of committing fur- ther troops to Iraq. If he — or anyone — would lead this country, that person must be ready to lead us toward peace, not prolonged war.
