In Bush's last speech for TV he repeatedly said that it was our duty to set up a democracy in Iraq that would serve as a beacon for all of the MidEast.

How much of that vision can taxpayers afford?

I don't think this will happen for the next 30 years. The bad boys holed up in these cities are supported by the populace to some degree.

I don't think this is a wise military ploy to get the enemy to attack. The media are going to be blasting pictures of dead Iraqi babies any time we counter strike.

Particularly Al Jazera, and that gets picked up by the Euroweanie press and then the left wing press here.

The bright reason to not attack is that Bush realizes the power of the press, and that he has other plans that are not being discussed. Hopefully that would include PARTITIONING and a victorious EXIT.
