Can This War Be Won?

Joe Sobran:

If Bush’s aim were to save American lives, rather than to preserve American empire, he might take these steps: call off the war, close U.S. military bases abroad, bring American military personnel home, and ask for an end to U.S. support for foreign regimes, particularly Israel.
For additional safety, he might also announce his conversion to Islam. That would be no more improbable than the other steps, would it?
