re: What do you think about this comment? There persists among some that Iraq can be saved and turned into a flowering democracy. I don't think that's possible and that fragmentation is the more likely route. I don't think anyone is seriously thinking the "flowering democracy" anymore. I think that fragmentation is likely inevitable. What bothers me is those people whose only concern is that setting up a timetable for withdrawal plays into the hands of the insurgents. While that might be true, it also lets the Iraqis know how much time they have to get their act together........which means eliminating the sheep like quality exhibited by Iraqis that makes possible the kidnapping of 150 Iraqis in one fell swoop. I understand that Saddam castrated his people but do none of them have any survival instincts left at all? It also stops the killing and injuring of American soldiers for a senseless cause that has little to do with this country.
