How are the Iraqis supposed to control the violence in their country when some of them are trying to split up the country into three parts: oil - oil - sand.

The Kurds, all by themselves, can veto the Constitution. It's not as if there's a single government entity that's fighting a small group of well-defined rebels. Some of those insurgents are in the government.

The mayor of Baghdad was just ousted, at gunpoint, by militia. The US of A, with all of our military might, cannot even protect the 7 miles of road to the Baghdad airport. If we cannot protect even a handful of diplomats and other government officials, how can the divisive Iraqis accomplish that?

You have your images backwards. Sheehan is a single individual asking the head of the greatest superpower the world has ever seen to answer her questions.

She's the bully? Republicans were trying to get her arrested. The SS drives by all the time. She's the bully? The rightwing corporate media machine is trashing her all day, every day and she's the bully? Your definition of a bully is a single grieving mother with a t-shirt and sunscreen sitting in a ditch in Texas? Gee.

If Bush is so mentally fragile that he cannot take the signs, he doesn't deserve to be dog catcher much less President. On that note, I do think that Bush is that mentally fragile. He's the most protected, most handled President since Reagan started really losing his mind to Alzheimer's.
