Iraq Blowback

Over at the Washington Note, Steve Clemons has posted a video which speaks volumes about the need for military disengagement in Iraq. As Clemons puts it:

American soldiers are too distant from the fate of Iraqis and on a systems basis can't ever act in their interests. Acting in their own interests -- and America's in a perverse way -- means lots of taxis will be squashed and many innocent Iraqis killed.

And this leads to blowback, just as it would if it happened in the U.S.

Check the video out for yourself.
