Until I see such documentation, I cannot support sending more "troops" which are comprised of human beings, to Iraq. As Dr. Dee stated, we really need a new plan. Unfortunately, I have no faith in our Commander-in-Chief, which I guess amounts to treason, but what the fuck? Why don't we scale back, come up with a new, more intelligent plan, and redeploy? As for the three-segment partitian, a lot of articles I've seen, seem to think that will eventually lead to genocide. That fact is (and what we've seen in Israel I think), is that you can't go back in time and re-establish borders for countries that time has passed by. We need to move on, respect the work that <BR/>Saddam has done, and figure out where we need to go from here. Bascially, I think we should find a country that has a similar make-up to Iraq, but is running a successful government, study it, and go from there. Any ideas?Ralphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16618874766251321861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20503056.post-1169346050065935602007-01-20T21:20:00.000-05:002007-01-20T21:20:00.000-05:00I hear you, Stan.

And that's the biggest ongoing problem with this endeavor, isn't it? There does not seem to be an abundance of clearly defined goals.<BR/><BR/>Do you really think Bush will carve up the country? I see the wisdom, but do you really think it will happen?Dr. Downinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16057337879095636133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20503056.post-1169334259495313462007-01-20T18:04:00.000-05:002007-01-20T18:04:00.000-05:00The only policy I agree with is the partitioning o...The only policy I agree with is the partitioning of Iraq into 3 separate countries.
