KR, Where will the police come from? Can't be US soldiers for too long? How about Rudy Giuliani as the Mayor of Baghdad with the former NYC Police Commissioner Kerrick? I agree that this is just a blowing off of steam after 25 years of repression. Should taper off and people should come to their senses. Can any Arab states help with law enforcement? Maybe Jordan? mike

The good news is, that people are not looting each others houses. If that happens, its an ugly situation. Been there, seen that That seems to be the case.. The dispossessed and poor engaging in strategic reallocation of economic assets.. :0) And it keeps them from thinking about killing Americans, or perceiving them as "the heavies" laying down the law. I am concerned about the seeming lack of planning with regard to restoring civil order. And all of this CONTINUING in-fighting between DOD and DOS about who will be the lead agency for rebuilding Iraq should have been resolved the day the invasion started. It has the potential of making it VERY difficult for US forces to create stability once they enter a SASO phase. Hawk
