>>it could turn into another Lebanon or Gaza...<< Or Kabul or Pakistan. Come on now fellas! Surely there must be some glimmer of hope that Iraq will present a better outcome than the above. If there is one thing we should know beyond all doubt, it's that "democracy" is one thing that money can buy! <vbg> And if there is one thing that Iraq has that the others you mention don't it is tons of money. ...Or perhaps I should say "barrels" of money. All we have to do is get the oil revenue flowing. Make sure the bulk of the revenues get into the hands of the Iraqi people. Build up some cargo container facilities in Umm Qasr. Get the dadburned longshoremen off their duffs in Oakland and Yokohama. And PRESTO!! ...Six months later you'll have your first national elections complete with baby kissing, cigar chomping, promise them anything and everything politicians. 0\|0
