I'd change this somewhat to say that the region was stable with Hussein in power. Will Iraq itself ever be stable? Yeah, I think it can be done but as I said, we need an insurgency-capable Administration and Pentagon and we clearly don't have that. My view has always been that Iraq was worth invading, but not alone and not by alienating the UN. Our leaders expected the post-war clean up to go easily and, when it didn't, they just kept saying that eventually it would. They're still waiting and still telling us we're turning the corner. We need to get a turn-around expert into office that can put a real plan for success in place. But we can't just pull up stakes and leave. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Dreamweaver with Homesite Plus from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=54 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:182942 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
