You misunderstand. I'm not referring to anything you've said before. If I were, I could probably cite the disdain you expressed for "provable likelihood of success" in an earlier post this week, or chastize you as to why you think the increase in *hope* (definitely non-measurable) is so unworth mentioning in Iraq. But anyhow, I actually wasn't referring to any of that. Instead, I am just expressing my confidence that if you have even a modicum of honesty you can come up with something that is measurably better in Iraq today than it was under Saddam Hussein. After all, Saddam Hussein's regime was one of the 5 worst regimes on Earth. Unless you believe that Iraq is *stil* one of the 5 worst regimes on Earth, then I am *sure* that you can come up with something - if you are willing to be honest about it. JDG - Its not difficult at all, Maru.... _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
