LOL. Do you think that the Brits just cake walked their way in? LOL. Look at the last hundred years. The Kurds have been battling the Turks. The Sunnis have been battling the Kurds. The Sunnis have been battling the Shiites. The Iraqis have been battling the Iranians. This is an area of long held tribal resentments. Is Europe different? Surely you jest. Europe has been engulfed with war, but they were wars of greed and imperialism. They were not the tribal wars that have been going on in the Middle East. I'm not saying that success is not possible. I'm saying that we are not prepared to pay the cost of success. Looking at the current plan and the proposed change over, I see that many difficulties lie ahead. I think it would have been wiser to work the problem externally as opposed to the internal thrust that we have engaged in. That's all. Orca
