Neo-Con Irresponsible Cynicism!

Here's a quote from Neo-con N.Y. Times editorialist Thomas Friedman (from his editorial, A Letter from the Shores of Iraq). You can also find the quote for free on The Prospect. Just for greater appreciation of this quote, you must bear in mind that Friedman was a strong supporter of the war in Iraq:

Maybe the cynical Europeans were right. Maybe this neighborhood is just beyond transformation. That will become clear in the next few months as we see just what kind of minority the Sunnis in Iraq intend to be. If they come around, a decent outcome in Iraq is still possible, and we should stay to help build it. If they won't, then we are wasting our time. We should arm the Shiites and Kurds and leave the Sunnis of Iraq to reap the wind. We must not throw more good American lives after good American lives for people who hate others more than they love their own children.

In case you don't know Thomas Friedman is, we have already talked about him here or here - and for a more detailed profile, go here.
