摘要

FEELING of satisfaction or resignation when a particular episode has come to an end." That is one definition the Chambers dictionary offers for the word "closure". On October 21st Barack Obama confirmed that America's soldiers would at last leave Iraq at the end of this year, almost nine years after the firestorm of "shock and awe" its missiles visited on Baghdad in the dead of night in March 2003, a few weeks before the invasion toppled Saddam Hussein. The troops could leave "with their heads held high, proud of their success," said Mr Obama. Maybe so, but within America's political class there is as yet scant evidence of "closure". The war over the war rages on. One reason for this is that America has only a year to go before its presidential election, so seekers of the Republican nomination dare not speak well of Mr Obama. On hearing the Iraq decision, Mitt Romney said the president's "astonishing failure to secure an orderly transition in Iraq" put at risk the victories won through "the blood and sacrifice" of thousands of Americans. Jon Huntsman said that it would have been "ideal" to leave a few troops behind. Michele Bachmann, scolding Iraqis for their ingratitude, said that Mr Obama should have "demanded" that they "repay the full cost of liberating them" with their rich oil revenues. Herman Cain, Napoleon of pizzas, said he would not have let the enemy know how many troops were going to leave, or when. At least Mr Cain admits that he is still learning about foreign affairs. For the rest, you have to ask: Do they have no shame? The decision to withdraw America troops by the end of this year was enshrined in a treaty negotiated in 2008 not by Mr Obama but by George Bush. At issue was only whether a small American force might yet stay on beyond the formal withdrawal date. Maybe that would have been "ideal", as Mr Huntsman says. But as a former ambassador to China, he should know how rarely diplomacy produces ideal outcomes, and this time it did not.
