who is to know before hand how many will land on which side..

Yes I am getting nervous about the long term outcome as well. Hopefully we will confirm this building they found yesterday is indeed a significant producer of chemical weapons, which will justify our actions to some extent. But the long term outlook for Iraq after the war greatly concerns me. It is probably naive to think we can rebuild the place in to a responsible world community member. We may just come back to the same old problem that exists with many Arab countries---their cultures are often so ingrained with a history of barbarism and ruthless dictators, that it is probably unrealistic to think they are capable of embracing democracy and becoming responsible world community members. It may take another ruthless dictator like Saddam to run the place. I am also disappointed to see that there hasn't been much of a welcome by the so called liberated Iraquis for our efforts.

Regards, Huey
