I'd be interested in your reaction to his subsequent post “The Return of Unilateralism” as well.

Seems to me that the unilateralism/multilateralism prism is the wrong one through which to view US troop increases (if indeed that is in the offing). I would be inclined to view this as basically a resource issue rather than a move toward unilateralism per se.

I would add that it seems a bit rich to me to characterize the US focus on Iraq rather than Afghanistan as “a patient, persistent, good faith effort was made in Bush's second term to win as an alliance.”

But what do I know. Your thoughts?
