Elmat predicted (Mar 30, 2003 <<This is a My Lai kind of situation waiting to happen!!>>) Abu Ghraib prison incident.

<<Imagine this uniformed government employees who are in the forces more because of a cushy job -since no one would be crazy to attack the US- than military fervor, now knowing they are facing an enemy they weren't trained to deal with.

They will go frustrated by the day. This is a My Lai kind of situation waiting to happen!! If you don't know in the Vietnamese village of My Lai even the chickens didn't survive and were killed too.

By knowing the script and how it would end, I said the best outcome would have been pizza, a C141 taking Saddam and his family to a safe haven (a la Ferdiand Marcos and Irans, Shah Reza Pahlevi) and Iraq would be controlled by today.

Actually, I read that in the aftermath of 9/11 behavioral scientists found people spent more. They found sad people spend more in an attempt to feel good. I'm not saying this derails the idea of a major correction, but it may have an unintended side consequence. More spending to accelerate the fall!
