Michelle Wildgen: IMG A Few Initial and Not-Comprehensive Meditations on Group Novels

1 comment By Michelle Wildgen

I am a sucker for a book about a group. What reminded me of this was Joanna Smith Rakoff's A Fortunate Age, her homage to Mary McCarthy's endlessly re-readable... Continue »

Publisher Comments:

Former senator George McGovern and William R. Polk, a leading authority on the Middle East, offer a detailed plan for a speedy troop withdrawal from Iraq.

During the phased withdrawal, to begin on December 31, 2006, and to be completed by June 30, 2007, they recommend that the Iraq government engage the temporary services of an international stabilization force to police the country. Other elements in the withdrawal plan include an independent accounting of American expenditures of Iraqi funds, reparations to Iraqi civilians for lives lost and property destroyed, immediate release of all prisoners of war, the closing of American detention centers, and offering to void all contracts for petroleum exploration, development, and marketing made during the American occupation.

Synopsis:

The authors present a detailed blueprint for U.S. withdrawal from Iraq that is bound to stir a national debate.

This book presents the most credible and most responsible plan for ending U.S. military occupation of Iraq and for helping repair the damage done as a result of the invasion of Iraq 4 years ago. I do not understand why it has not received the attention it deserves either by Congress or the media.

This is so much more than a lot of extremely important information about Iraq and the American occupation of Iraq! It proposes an American withdrawal from Iraq based on our highest American ideals -- treating the Iraqi people as we would want to be treated in similar circumstances.
America and Iraq will be better off if the authors' withdrawal plan becomes law. This assertion is backed by strong, logical, informed argument.
I'm giving copies of this book to my representatives in Washington and am urging them to work to make this life-saving plan law.
