First things first, and to begin with do things where success is possible and which will be observed as progess to help develop Iraqi's confidence. Iraqis need water, power, food and medical access. If we have Americans helping Iraqis do the actual dirty work or arrange payments to get these working we will be winning the game of good guy-bad guy Those who paint us as overbearing invaders will gradually become distrusted. These are easy things to do, but policing and loot control are much more difficult, so let the UN support that if they are willing. When constabularies duty to be done A policemans lot is not an 'appy one Sig

Frankly Bill I disagree. Everyone is so sure of how Gore would have behaved after 9/11. I for one remember Gore in NYC in 1988 running as a right wing democrat, hand in hand, with the then Mayor Koch. Who could have imagined Bush the neocon based on his somewhat isolationist, protectionist, anti-internationalist pre-9/11 views. I would have no problem rooting for Gore and his policies. Hell i rooted for Clinton's success and solutions also. Thought he was great with the mideast peace accords. Who knew Arafat would stab him in the back? mike
