Paul, the Economist isn't "left-leaning."  Far from it.  But I suspect the 
editors are reflecting on McCain's insistance that we were right to go into 
Iraq and should not leave until we have achieved a victory.  They and the 
rest of Europe aren't buying that..  McCain didn't help his cause when he 
specifically stated a potential 100 years in Iraq and using the example of 
our continued presence in Europe and Japan just won't fit into the Iraqi 
scenario.  As Trudy Rubin expressed  in her column today, the Iraqis lived 
under a colonial thumb for too long to allow it to happen again.  And they 
are now in a position to call those shots.
