"You do the fighting and the bleeding, and I'll be happy to take over the government when it's safe. And I PROMISE to be democratic". Actually, there's good and bad in both scenarios.. Personally, I just want to convince some of the Iraqi powerbrokers, currently "loyal" to Saddam, not to oppose the US. In exchange, we'll ensure they don't share his clan's fate and they might even get a piece of the pie saved for them in a post-Saddam Iraq. And while I would love to see them become democratic someday, I'm under few illusions about how difficult that would be when they don't have such a political culture. I just want them to be "friendly" which I believe our foreign aid will go far toward ensuring....:0) Hawk
