Sullivan dissapoints me with this.

What you think doesn't really matter, if you have any concept of democracy surely what Iraqi's think is important, look at the polls, first of all most believed pre-invasion that this had nothing to do with freedom/democracy, now the majority believe life was better under saddam, and want the troops out.

What do you propose that they do?
Right now they are there; yes the country is a colossal mess at the moment but the world needs more democracies (did i spell that right?).
I still think that Iraq now is better then Iraq oppressed under the boot of a tirant.

If Americans were forward thinkers they would've forseen the disaster that the invasion of Iraq has caused. Instead they opted to believe in fairy Tales of being greeted as "liberators".

Mister sullivan has a quite valid point.
In most things Americans are, by their very nature, foreward thinkers. As a rule of thumb they tend to be tomorrow oriented and future thinking.
It is most likely that they will look at the situation in iraq and say "We're here, we're in this up to our eyeballs, where do we go from here?" and then try to make things better.

I like Andrew Sullivan, but I must disagree with him...Americans don't want to stay the course....staying the course is what got us into this mess....we want a graceful exit in the very near future....thats what Americans are looking for.
Sully here isn'y saying "staying the course" is a good idea. He's saying the Democrats need to provide and alternate plan rather than just talking how we shouldn't have gone to war to begin with.

Why does the poster of this vid have so much difficulty discerning what Sullivan is saying here?
