Sad news to be sure, but what is the alternative for iraq?

I don't know, how about this? They figure it out for themselves. Anyone who believes, really believes, we are going to change the mindset of that culture is deluded. Are there some who want the change? Of course. Are there far more who are so foreign to our political and social ways that will truly inhibit real change there? Of course again. We are not going to change an entire mindset rooted in centuries of belief just because, Gosh, we want to. It's not terrible or unpatriotic to say it. It's just the damned truth.

Personally I hope we don't let them do this. They might "figure out" something which will only cause us more problems down the road, and I certainly hope we don't let them.

We did in Japan by the way. Best,
