But maybe we can make some progress on the "What do we do now" issue. Although I doubt it. :>)

I'm not sure how to approach this. I'm tempted to say "you go first." It's entirely possible that we will be pretty much in agreement. I recognize that Iraq is water over the dam or under the bridge or wherever it is that the water goes. (Hopefully, some of it to reclaim the marsh lands in southern Iraq.) Anyway, we're in Iraq now so what do we do? I'm already on record here that we must stay the course so you can't be expecting an argument from me on that.

I think that, since we've done this and we're stuck with it, we need to do it right, whatever that takes. Early on I thought it was important to get out as soon as possible to avoid the imperialist charge and to avoid aggravating them any more than we have to. Now I'm not so sure. I don't think they will hate us any less if we leave soon than if we stay longer so I'd rather stay longer and do it right.

Is that good enough for a start?
