Chutzpah of a high order...

It would surely be nice if the Iraqis stopped killing each other and wrangling. It would be nice, very nice, if no more American volunteers perished.
But it takes a certain degree of chutzpah (definition: a child kills both parents and seeks an innocence plea on the grounds of sympathy) for American SecState to demand it --- even though Election Day is very close.
Americans still wrangle --- all the time --- about their politics, their courts, the rules of their government, the behavior --- substantive and moral --- of the elected officials.
In our Civil War many more combatants were killed than in Iraq.
