"The main message was that the U.S. is seriously committed to regime change in Iraqi," Sharif Ali bin al-Hussein, one of the opposition leaders,

Who is also a cousin to the previous Hashemite King, Faisal and in line to restore Hashemite rule over Iraq.

But I heard an interview with him the other day and he seems to indicate that he would create a constitutional monarchy along the lines of Britain.

It could prove a happy medium, although the Saudis would be quite perturbed to see the Hashemites gaining power in the region, and Jordan gaining such a large economic patron.

"Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if Iraq were similar to Afghanistan, if a bad regime was thrown out, people were liberated, food could come in, borders could be opened, repression could stop, prisons could be opened?" Mr. Rumsfeld said. "I mean, it would be fabulous."

Wow, that sounds kewl! Hope they do that in the US someday, too.

Except the food part. That we got.
