Flipside... If we are going to stay, lets see a real plan. A real one! Electric power should have been restored in a week or so, and upgraded X5 by now. 50% of Iraqies should have air conditioners and fridges by years end. Swimming pool contractors should be bidding for contracts in 2004. Have we run out of freaking capitalists or something?
