Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "But that's going to take years." Two years on, the current situation is that the US is trying to figure out how to get out of Iraq with honor. The public's approval of the war is trending in the general direction of single digits. As far as keeping the terrorists off American soil goes, the latest news is that a white American college student and moslem convert died when his bombs went off prematurely in Oklahoma, apparently in protest of the Iraq war. And Al Qaeda is making plans for what to do when the power vacuum arrives. Not too good. Re: "Just as it took years for 13 sovereign states to decide that Confederate government wasn't sufficient and that they needed a consitution. And even then, it required a bill of rights for it to be accepted by all parties." The Iraqi government is in no way similar to that of George Washington. They're in power at the business end of foreign weapons with very little assistance from their own people. The Iraqi government is far more similar to various puppet governments that we've supported over the years and that ended up folding ignominiously. -- Carl
