Good article by Peters as usual. Pack journalism cannot keep anything in proportion -- and of course the same voices who were confidently warning us of Stalingrad-on-the-Tigris a few months ago are now making the most of the current "quagmire". David Warren has a good quote too: Time and patience will be required. All the reliable indications I have are that the vast majority of Iraqis, including those still terrified of the Fedayeen in such old Saddamite haunts as Fallujah and Tikrit, remain glad of the presence of U.S. and British soldiers, while grumbling more than helping. An independent poll conducted earlier this month on Western sampling principles showed that 73 per cent of Iraqis thought the coalition were doing a very poor job, and 76 per cent wanted them to stay. Add in overwhelming distrust of each of the native Iraqi governing alternatives proposed to the poll-taken, and you have the larger picture -- of a world in which perfection is unobtainable, but one somehow muddles through. davidwarrenonline.com
