Tesco,
First post: LOL great one.
The ability of the GWB administration to paint themselves into a corner is remarkable.

Second post: Even with a large spoonfull of salt, that article has some valuable lessons in it.
Even if everything goes as planned (assuming there is a plan) and an new "democratic" Iraqi goverment is put in place, there will be millions of Iraqi who have good reasons to hate the US. There are many reasons, like loved ones killed, businesses and homes destroyed or loss of power and status for those who benefited from the old regime. It will be easy picking for those who are recruiting terrorists in Iraq for decades to come. I fear this war will not be remembered as a war against terrorism, but as a great boost to it.
