Agreed. There were much more important mistakes made by Americans after the war. You know I supported the war, so you can't make those claims about me that you made about some others. Just because I supported the war, however, doesn't mean that I turn a blind eye to mistakes. They can, and could have done better. As many people predicted, the resources to rebuild and govern Iraq do not flow nearly as freely as those to depose Saddam, and the plan for rebuilding was not sufficient since the Administration underestimated the problem (as many people predicted). They did great good in deposing Saddam, but they need to do better in rebuilding and governing and allocating resources to Iraq. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
