Day One for Iraq

ODOlogo.gifMarch 20, 2008, is Day One of the sixth year of the War in Iraq. Regardless of your views on how sound the reasoning was for going to war, it's hard to deny that we have a long way to go toward a stable Iraq and restoration of America's image in the world.

January 20, 2009, is the first day of the next presidency, the first chance for the next president to chart a new course for America in Iraq and right our standing in the world. Reason suggests that neither "stay the course" nor "immediate withdrawal" is best for America and the rest of the world.

Our sister site, OnDayOne.org is asking you what that agenda should be. For the next 10 days, we will be compiling the most recent suggestions (tagged with "Iraq") in our Delegates' Lounge (top of the right column). Please submit your ideas at OnDayOne.org.

Halfway to the Millennium Development Goals
Email | Digg! Digg | Del.icio.us

The following appeared as an op-ed in The Guardian Online on Thursday, September 25th.

This week, over 150 world leaders are gathered at the UN for the opening of the general assembly. If recent years are any indication, news outlets will focus on the disagreements aired on Tuesday, when George Bush and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took the podium.

But the real drama occurs today (Thursday), when the same global leaders that butted heads earlier in the week take stock of one of the most far-reaching and noble statements of international cooperation ever agreed upon, the millennium development goals.

More.
