That was my thought as well upon first hearing the news. I expected (and still expect) attack after attack over the next couple of days leading up to the handover. This cuts that off. Instead of those being attacks against the "occupying government", those attacks will be attacks against the "Iraqi government". Or something like that... Hopefully, I'll be wrong and there won't be those sorts of attacks... - jmh Keeping My Fingers and Toes Crossed Maru _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
