John, My point was that there will be many mistakes but overall the grade remains good. Getting it right doesn't mean getting everything right initially. And learning from one's errors is really key just as it is in life. Yes, things post war have not gone as well as we would all like, but they are going as well as can be expected in a post war environment. Bet their was some chaos in germany, japan and pre-marshall plan europe as well. It comes with the territory. I would just occasionally like to see credit given when due to this administration by folks who opposed the war. I just dont hear it--they just seem to move from one issue to the other without ever recognizing any success or admitting that they were wrong about anything regarding the war/bush policy. mike

John...Now Day 35. War isn't over. Day 35! Baghdad fell 14 days ago. Look what has happened in 14 days...in a country the size of California. I've bookmarked the transcripts that Ken sent....The very first person out of the gate, cites several of the "should have dones"....but neglects to say that Saddam isn't in charge anymore. I'm anxious to read the entire transcript. Want to see if any of them think anything has gone right? Also, want to see if any of them have any thoughts as to how that many people in Iraq got the word that quickly it was time to protest....as well as go to their sacred sites..... Some people tell us it is a very poor country, and has little in the way of electrical power, food etc.... If this is totally true, how do a million plus people just 'happen to be on the road'.....with shoes, clothes, and food for their trip....and most probably their cell phones, that have to be plugged into some sort of device to recharge.... Is it possible that some, and perhaps many, of these people were from Iran as well? Or funded by Iran and other ME countries?
