I read only the first sentence of your reply so far. I was not criticising you at all. I was just making an alternate case both in terms of policy and political advantage. Now i will read the rest.

I dont get it. It is not a question of forgetting past policies. Its all about improving the reality. Sure there will upset iraqis. Some of them in the Shiaa and Kurd areas will be voting for the first time in four days. Some of them may be unhappy with us because they may feel that we havent prosecuted the war in sunni areas strongly enough. But Sam get real. Time travel doesnt work. You cant go back and fix mistakes. When you break it, you fix it as soon as you can. Dwelling on the past is not useful. Understanding it, is. Mike PS you never dealt with my major points.
