Sorry I called you a pussy. You were getting personal with me and I responded immaturely.

I forgot to respond to your Iraq comment.

We'll see what the admin does. It looks like I will be right again. I hope I'm not but Powell seems to be wining the argument in the administration. He wants to just remove Sadam and not occupy Iraq. That could be worse than doing nothing at all.

Half assed solutions might get Bush reelected but they don't don't solve them problem in the long run.

I ain't hitting the abuse button.

There's a good chance we won't occupy Iraq, the resistance movement in Iraq is pretty strong, just not strong enough to topple Saddam. During Desert Storm they managed to take control of 90% of the nation. It's not like Afghanistan which is a major trainwreck and will have to be guided very carefully to some form of sane government. There aren't the dozens of warring factions in Iraq, there's an actual infrastructure in place. We'll probably still want to occupy it for a while, long enough to get things settled, but it's probably not going to be the painful nation building process of Afghanistan.
