The tide is turning in favor of Iraq as countries prepare to share in trade with the new government. It is only required to hold firm and keep insurgents damage to a minimum until participants begin to provide security for their new investments and company personnel coming into the area. story.news.yahoo.com Sig

I saw the Charlie Rose Show. John Anderson confirmed that as symbolic happenings, the sovereignty handover and arraignment of Saddam had been hugely successful and changed the mood in Iraq. He called them a "watershed" and said that Iraqis were really pulling for the new government to work and be able to put down the insurrection. Judith Kipper said that she believes that Iraq is going to work down the line and that the Iraqis are very nationalistic. But Charlie could not get her to say that the Iraq War was worth it, even if it deposed the "Stalinist" (her word) Saddam and led to a representative government because she doesn't want to endorse the Bush doctrine. Moore came off as more reasoned and reasonable than he does in most appearences, readily conceding that F 911 was made as a polemic to help throw Bush out of office, and talking about his distribution difficulties without repeating some of his wilder charges. I think he knew that Charlie Rose does not stand well for bs artists of any stripe and he could not get away with some of his usual lines.
