Via Redstate.org, Tacitus transcribes an NPR interview and publishes this bit by Senator Kerry:

If I get other countries involved in the training of troops, and we're training them more rapidly, the Iraqis themselves can take over a great deal more of their own security. But you need stability to be able to do that. How do you achieve the stability? You need to have more people involved in the process. We have not seen this Administration do the statesmanship, do the diplomacy necessary, and America is paying a very high price both in terms of the lives of our young, and the money that's coming out of the taxpayer's pockets. I will do a better job of building those alliances and getting our troops home. And I will do a much better job of reducing the burden on the National Guard and Reserves and their families who are paying a very high price for the President's rush.

This general tendency of the belief that diversity of opinion and background within groups, coalition-building, and expanded democratic action are the solutions to our problems is something I've never quite understood. Why the repeated emphasis on coalitions, groupthink, and consensus is so high up on the lists of statists is something I'll never really understand.

For the record, I have strong doubts that any collection of individuals can coerce Iraq into a better nation and end the war. Expanding the actors in the field to include nations currently hostile or unhappy with us won't solve the various problems within the country. Especially when you consider the problems of multilateralizing the pacification of Iraq and disagreement in regards to negotiation.
