I have to admit that I'm rather disturbed by the seeming lack of planning for reconstructing Iraq and restoring order and commerce. Hawk, I've written and deleted three replies to you, because they all came out too sarcastic. Knowing you for the honest man that you are, you deserve better than that. Before the invasion, when thoughtful folks would question the rush to war, we were told that twelve years is not a rush. When we proposed a more peaceful alternative, we were bullied and called unpatriotic. When we asked what the post-war plans were, we were told that we would be informed when the time came. Well, it is becoming plain for all to see, that there really is no viable plan and that any good will that came from our ousting Saddam is quickly turning to hostility. Would things have turned out better had we had a rational national discussion instead of the bellicose agitprop? No one can say for sure now, but I do know that an America where honest and significant dissent is shouted down and marginalized is not the nation our forefathers envisioned.
