Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "I wonder how come our local criminals haven't figured out how to hold America's pipelines for ransom?" There's no money in it, LOL. We'd never pay it and instead would hunt the criminals down. Nor are the Iraqi guerillas holding any oil pipelines for ransom, LOL. I really wonder where you get these notions!!! Re: "Could it be because there is rule of law here?" Yeah, if we'd been invaded by a bunch of trigger happy Arabs who dissolved our military and police we'd been lost in chaos too, LOL. Re: "Where is it written that there cannot be rule of law established in Iraq? Oh yes, I know, it's been four months already, so it's clearly hopeless." Okay miss smartypants, tell me when rule of law will be sufficiently established in Iraq that US KIA will be down to maybe the Afghanistan level of 1 per week or so. -- Carl
