Instead of having yet <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/nm\/20061228\/pl_nm\/bush_iraq_dc_1\">another meeting<\/a> to discuss in Washington what should happen in Iraq, USA should ask the Iraqi people what they want them to do in Iraq.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nI envision a very concrete referendum, something like, &#8220;should we pull out by April 1st or stay another year to help Iraq democracy succeed?&#8221;   If the majority asks America to stay another year, then the invasion is legitimized.  If, instead, they ask America to leave, then America says &#8220;mission accomplished, when we came Iraq was led by a genocidal dictator, we brought this dictator to justice, established the principles of democracy and now we leave&#8221;.
