Q, I've appreciated reading your thoughtful reasoned responses.

I echo much of what you have said regarding how this war will be viewed as the years progress. Just as Croatia and Slovenia are progressing wonderfully today, so will it be for Iraq.

The enlightened intellectual Euro-centric French crowd should keep an eye on places like Corrsica, and quit worrying about importing things happening in the middle east. The adults are dealing with that situation.

I also agree with what Hawkmoon said about the military and would like to add, if every reporter for the N.Y. Times or Washington Post wrote down every complaint coming from a soldier, sailor or airmen, the paper would be left with nothing else to write about. Military people are doing all kinds of nasty jobs around the world, so they complain about them. It's a hallmark of America's great republic that military personnel feel free to complain openly about the organization.

Sometimes I wonder if reporters, who express surprise about complaints from soldiers in Iraq, have ever listened to their colleagues around the water cooler.
