What I have been thinking about of late though is the role of diplomacy. The Iraq Study Group Report recommended diplomatic efforts, and the Democratic contenders have been stressing diplomacy in their criticisms of Bush's handling of the conflict in Iraq.
What successes have the Democratics had in enlisting foreign governments to get involved?
Which countries have jumped into the breach?
The Group recommended the U.N.'s involvement with Iran and the nuclear issue. Are there any developments on that front?
The Security Council, plus Germany, was to be involved. Has there been any progress since 2006?
If you haven't guessed by now, these are rhetorical questions.
I, like you, have not heard the Democratic contenders address the issue and the U.N.'s response has been tepid.
