Our core problem in Iraq remains Donald Rumsfeld's disastrous decision - endorsed by President Bush - to invade Iraq on the cheap. From the day the looting started, it has been obvious that we did not have enough troops there. We have never fully controlled the terrain. Almost every problem we face in Iraq today - the rise of ethnic militias, the weakness of the economy, the shortages of gas and electricity, the kidnappings, the flight of middle-class professionals - flows from not having gone into Iraq with the Powell Doctrine of overwhelming force. Like many people commenting on the war..........they seem to think if we just do something different, everything will turn out okay and Iraq will quiet down. This presumption seems to me to be a very American outlook........if you just work hard enough, your goal will be yours. It seems to me that such a premise gets a lot more complicated when it occurs on soil outside of the US. And we may have to accept it won't work in Iraq. ted
