A majority of the American people want us to get our military out of Iraq. Unfortunately, the Bush administration has not gotten the message. They continue to go about the war as if they had all the time and money in the world. Earlier this year, President Bush said the removal of our military from Iraq would be left up to the new President. By that time, more of our service members will be dead and wounded. It is time for the Bush administration to stop being so damn stubborn and use diplomacy to get us out.
According to Wikipedia, diplomacy is defined as the art and practice of conducting negotiations between representatives of groups or nations. It usually refers to international diplomacy, the conduct of international relations through the intercession of professional diplomats with regard to issues of peace-making, culture, economics, trade, and war.
Diplomacy has been used by leaders throughout history. However, it does take a lot of research, negotiation, and hard work, and these are the three things that this administration doesn't seem to like. Hopefully, the new Democratic House and Senate will force the administration to use diplomacy to end the war in Iraq and bring our troops home soon.
