I've already commented on the civil war issue to her. I think if one side wants to dominate the country, and there is an alliance between much of the Sunni population and the international islamist terrorist alliance to dominate Iraq, then there will have to be a civil war. I also don't think a civil war following liberation is a morally valid reason for arguing that a country should be kept subject to a brutal dictatorship forever.

:-) I'm sure you'll get the comments- but you and I probably won't agree with them- it will be same old same old. At this point people are mostly hardened in to- 1.whatever crap happens it was justified, or 2.whatever crap happens is a result of careless US use of military might, it was a mistake, and that's all she wrote. I think Iraq could go up in mushroom cloud and some people on SI would still think the invasion was the "right" thing. The good news is that the majority of the country now thinks it was a mistake, and since we also think it's a mistake, I don't think we need to waste our time worrying about the people who will never get off the bus, even if the bus is destined to blow up.
