I’ll do a rare US-centric post, because this kind of stunned me. Rauch argues that republicans will call a democratic withdrawal from Iraq a stab in the back, and to avoid that Democrats should stretch out withdrawal over several years.
Why that would stop the wingnuts from shouting treason he doesn’t bother to explain, but more importantly: The lives or Iraqis or US troops goes unmentioned. The US national interest goes unmentioned. Just avoid contentiousness at all cost. Oh, and if there is any contentiousness it’ll be the dirty hippies fault.

You forgot the canonical adjective that goes between dirty and hippies.
Other than that, just so.
