After many adventures (I spent a couple of weeks in Guatemala) I am back home and ready to get back to blogging. I have a digital camera now, so maybe I'll start putting some pictures up.
I think a good way to return to the blogosphere is with Belgravia Dispatch's analysis of where we are in Iraq. Like BD, this talk of withdrawing troops does not sound good to me. The argument that our troops are provoking the insurgents does not seem to take into account the increasing number of insurgent attacks against Iraqis. A significant reduction in US troops would likely increase those attacks, and therefore the liklihood of civil war.
So for once, I actually agree with what Bush seems to be saying. I just can't understand why Rumsfeld still has a job.

Rumsfeld has a job because he is loyal to Bush. That is often given as the major qualification for many who hold office under Bush's presidency. Thus, that logic leads to another trueism one hears often: give Bush whomever he wants for the UN, or other jobs; its his presidency and history will determine if these are the "right" people for the job. Unfortunately, it is a history we all have to live through and thus experience the "benefits" of these decisions.
