A Wise Man Speaks on Iraq
« on: December 10, 2006, 09:49:57 PM »
I just got this email, answering one of mine, from a friend whose son will be deployed to Iraq in February as an officer:

Ed:  The two things that most disturb me by our presence and role
there are that we are almost universally not wanted nor
appreciated by anybody, and the fact that many feel that a
unified government is not and will not be viable, no matter how long we
stay and at what cost.  I still think that somebody (not us) overseeing
negotiations to partition the country might be the best shot at a
peaceful settlement.  Any thoughts on the Sugar Bowl?

I think that the Kurds were smart , if they are equally smart as the situations changes they will adapt or sieze controll as their options open.

Are the principals that are haveing a harder time than the Kurds a diffrent kind of smart?

What was the unofficial motto of the US soldiers in Vietnam?

"We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have been doing so much, for so long, with so little, that soon we will be able to do absolutely everything with nothing at all."
"Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana."
