aside from the fact that my motivation to visit this (and other) sites goes in direct proportion with the stock market :-) ... The net result of the Iraq war on myself can be summarized in a very simple sentence: "my distance from America has quadrupled" Not that I want to join the chat-like disputes that go around these days (I still remember the late y2k with all those GB worth of messages about "GWB-vs-Gore" ...) In summary, I may or may not consult some of you (that I do respect for your outstanding skills), but all that will be kinda technical, with nothing more attached to it. Joe

hueyone, re: "Experts" who dismiss hopes for Iraqi democracy as naive and the campaign to liberate Iraq's people as dangerously destabilizing do not explain why they believe Iraqis or Arabs are uniquely unsuited for representative government, and they betray a cultural bigotry that ill serves our interests and values. Frankly, my guess of the outcome of a true democracy in Iraq is that it would result in the election of a fundamental Islamic government, similar to Iran. Maybe not out of the gate, but eventually. A new anti-American terrorist breeding ground. John
