Funny, Hawk....I had much the same thoughts. Except, I thought maybe the Iraqi people would indeed realize themselves the importance of having help to establish their new government and infrastructure. And while I'm somewhat disturbed the looting that has occurred and the seeming lack of preparation for restoring civil order, the cynical side of me is wondering if this was part of the plan. To make the Iraqi people realize that, while the US liberated them, by no means can it be expected to just step in and guarantee social order and tranquility. But we'll support those Iraqi leaders who promise to do just that... If there had been "instant order", then the wrong message might have been conveyed of "don't worry, the US will take care of everything".. Hawk
