Iraq is going better now. Both the new pm and president are making contributions. The disbanding of the militias is a good thing and the outlaw status of the ones which dont is also good. Folks continue to dies there, its true and numbers may rise but the UN is about to give sanction to the post 6/30 setup and this is a good thing.
It may not work. Iraq pacification was much harder and much different than anticipated. I cannot tell you now what my answer would be about going to war in the first place given whats happened. Perhaps we could have solved the problems--perhaps we should have shown more patience. Without wmds, it would be hard to make the case to me because that was my chief reason for supporting our policy.
But here we are now. Things are going better albeit with continued violence. But there is some light at the end of the tunnel and we should give our country and the new iraqi regime the benefit of the doubt, dont you think??
Before you answer let me scream for awhile. mike
