The reality is that Iraq is a pieced-together country and, without a very strong centralized government, just naturally starts to piece itself apart. Blame the Brits, after all, they were the ones who drew arbitrary lines on a map and claimed it was a country. On the other hand, the optimists will say that parts of Iraq are doing better: electricity is back to prewar levels which were lousy to begin with but at least it's back schools are open businesses are open most iraqis are happy to see the back of Saddam even though they'd like to see the back of us as well Saddam is apparently holed up in Tikrit No new 911 on our soil Rumsfeld is pissed because he was left out of the loop on the latest "reorganization" Our economy seems to be stabilizing even though job growth sucks --------- Even though I disagreed with the way the war was put together, the reality is that we have to make it work now. We broke it, we have to fix it and the fix needs to be significantly better than the original.
