JF, Iraq may be worse off than it was before our intervention. What's your basis of comparison? The volume of press releases following the invasion? Injustice to women has always been the norm in the Middle East. At least the press is now able to shed light on it. They couldn't when Saddam and the Taliban were in power. Tenchusatsu

re: re: What's your basis of comparison? The volume of press releases following the invasion? Not "the volume of press releases", but the content of the reports. Did you read the article Ted posted about Basra? The Basra that Elroy holds up as the symbol of success for the US strategy. Reading the news everyday, what's your "basis of comparison"? Deaths, people maimed, employment rate, services, citizen safety, corruption, womens rights, secularisms, cooperation between the ethnic, religious cultures, acts of terrorism? What's your basis of comparison to say how wonderful Iraq is these days? And you said: "Of course to the left, it's America's fault that fundamentalist Muslims are persecuting women and those who treat them." Do you really believe that? The scary part is that in the end you might be right, things may break really bad, and it would be America's fault. Another reason why, in the end, this may be worse than Vietnam. John

"WASHINGTON - World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, a prime architect of the Iraq war during his service as deputy defense secretary, said Tuesday that he hasn't read any of the recently disclosed British government memos that refer to his role and that of other senior administration officials in the run-up to war during 2002. At a breakfast meeting with reporters, Wolfowitz said he hasn't read the memos because he doesn't want to be "distracted" by "history" from his new job as head of the world's leading development bank. He returned this weekend from a tour of four African nations." stltoday.com I knew he was an idiot. I didn't realize how stupid he is. And now he heads up the World Bank. Brillian move, Mr. Bush! ted
