And if we end up providing for Iraq, as little democracy as we did in Kuwait, and as little prosperity/stability as we did in Afghanistan, will the NeoCons admit they were wrong? Or will they just say, "we didn't use enough Force; we weren't Resolute enough"? Oh come on, Jacob. "As little democracy as we did in Kuwait?" When exactly did this happen? I'm sure you're trying to say that we should have taken the occasion of the UN mandated restoration of the Kuwaiti government to Kuwait in 1991 to usurp power there and install our own favored government? Hell, even I would never suggest such a thing. And of course the tired old rag of the "failure" of Afghanistan, which we've been over thoroughly already. The country is already less of a shithole than it was a year ago. The country BARELY EXISTED a year ago. Give it a rest. It isn't going to be Oregon in a year, or even a decade for that matter, no matter how hard we try. Derek
