That wasn't the question.. GST.. Don't take the time to debate anything with me if you can't, or are unwilling to, provide an answer to my questions. The ICRC has been attacked in Iraq. The UN has been attacked in Iraq. The Jordanian embassy was attacked... NONE OF THESE ENTITIES IS OCCUPYING IRAQ... As for the US, we (CPA) are in trusteeship of the country, NOW OFFICIALLY SANCTIONED BY THE UN. Occupying nations don't normally turn over domestic functions to indigenous administration within 6 months. And there's nothing wrong with occupying a country which was previously occupied by a brutal and illegitimate regime.. I mean.. my god.. that's like claiming that crimimal gangs who have taken over entire neighborhoods in some cities have some kind of inherent legitimacy to rule and that the police are "occupying powers".. What's wrong GST.. Do you miss the Baathists that much in Iraq? Upset that you didn't get to see all of the Shiites and Kurds slaughtered by the Sunnis? Btw, what's your opinion of Sen. Zell Miller (D) of Georgia? Hawk
