I am not complaining at all...you should however notice that the Iraqi gratitude does not extend as far as you would you have suggested. This contract serves as an example of what America's war in Iraq is bringing the Middle East. And a lot people in Egypt who may been ambivalent about the war are going to fee differently as Egypt brings home $300M or whatever of reconstruction funds -- money they'd never have seen without the United States' intervention. This kind of commerce is precisely the reason the ousting of Saddam will, long term, be viewed as an extremely positive thing by all in the ME and it represents precisely the reason the war will reduce anti-Americanism and therefore terrorism. I think you can see this but can't admit it.
