MON,
Time will tell but at least we are all on the same page in one respect. We are rooting for the best outcome and the next stage of the debate will be on how best to secure this. You and Nadine may end up on the same side. I respect your earlier opposition to the war and concern about winning the peace. Several posters here have had intelligent objections, not the visceral anti-americanism of a Michael Moore. You and Steve Rodgers initially come to mind as such posters. Mike
PS First Questions would be role of exiles and the UN. I am not excited by either btw.

Hi Michael,

I don't think I'm blind to the dangers of occupation (& I don't think the administration is either - it's just not something that it was good politics to stress). However, in any real-world calculus, they must be set against the dangers of leaving the bastard in place, both to us and to the Iraqis - can you say REAL humanitarian catastrophe - not that the UN ever exercises itself over the murders of dictators.
