SPIEGEL: Almost five years ago Bush grouped Iraq, North Korea and Iran together in the now-notorious “Axis of Evil.” Now the US is faced with considerable crises in all three countries. What to do?
Haass: We have allowed ourselves to get into three very difficult situations. As the United States has learned to its great cost in Iraq, military force is no panacea. Any option that would be heavily reliant on the Army is not a realistic option, because the only Army we have is busy right now.
