Carl, as usual (unfortunately) you dissemble rather than deal straightforwardly with the facts. Salam Pax has always been ambivalent about US intervention, which is completely understandable. Nobody wants to be on the receiving end of bullets and bombs, even though the bullets and bombs are there to end a bad government that you don't support and can't get rid of through non-violence. He wanted to get rid of Saddam, but hated the thought of war. That's natural. I was reading him a long time before you started talking about him on the thread. He is a very intelligent man, but he speaks only for himself. His observations are not the only thing that I take into consideration when forming my own opinion. Even if he was 100% against the war, it would not have changed my mind about the necessity of it. At any rate, he's posted that he wants us to stay until the country is functional and not leave him to the mad mullahs. I only read the first paragraph or so of your post. We have different takes on reality, let's just leave it at that. I remain glad that we liberated Iraq.
