What I meant was that a direct request from the Iraqi president to withdraw from his country would be a hell of a lot better as an alibi for withdrawal than a poll pulled by NY Times, that "70% of the Iraqi population wants us out". I could imagine such a case now being built and if Rove and Bush were behind that they would be even more clever than I have ever given them credit for. No doubt some kind of solution - or at least what looks like it - will be found prior to the elections. If the Iraqis really want to fight it out, no way we could prevent them from doing just that in the long run anyway. Tito was the only guy who could hold together the different credos and tongues of Yugoslavia. He did it his way, which we believe was slightly more civilized than the way Saddam held together his similar mess. But as far as I recall, Tito didn't have a couple of mad and rampantly crazy sons raping and looting ad libitum. Or maybe Tito just looked better in his time than Saddam in his? Taro
