Can Iraq save America?

Here's a blog post worth reading!

Frank Kaufmann writes on his blog "Mere Light" as follows:

Perhaps the only benefit from this [Iraq] war is that its results are SO bad that it calls otherwise distant or even hostile groups to work together in search of a solution and a way past the current horrors. We must all work together to move forward toward a better world. People exploiting this cosmic misstep simply to attack Mr. Bush and his collaborators, or to pursue domestic or international political advantage, including through hearings to pin blame, are doing everyone a disservice, and all should keep track of who these people are. Electing or empowering such people will not make matters better. We must move past swinging this way or that in the vain imagination that one "side" or other can be correct in isolation.

Much has been made in the press about how polarized the U.S. public has become over various political and social issues. Is it possible that the dire implications of failure in Iraq will force us to work together for a solution and provide a beginning point toward a resolution of this seemingly intractable divide within our own society?

Stay tuned!
