from friedman "As one Marine officer said to me: There is something to be said for doing war on the cheap, but if you want to do war on the cheap, "pick a country that doesn't matter." " See we can agree. I think friedman's criticism is right on the money. Hopefully we do get it right from here on. So far not too much evidence of that however. It's new terrain for us and actually since this war on terror probably will have more battlefields, effective post war pacification using MPs and perhaps even civilian agencies should be in the planning stages. We cant afford to "lose" iraq. It will be a disaster. Still have time to make things right. mike
