Fred I would have agreed with this about a week ago.  But as
my last post shows I am beginning to think the Iraq situation
is deteriorating so rapidly that it cannot be patched
together without the most massive injection of troops and
that might not work either.    Besides I am still convinced
that no one would dare re-introduce the draft before the
November elections and that is what they are talking about
when they say that the US needs to double (plus) the number
of troops in Iraq.

I tend to agree with Juan Cole when he says, "I concluded in
early April that Bush had lost Iraq. He has by now lost the
entire Muslim world."


I of course would like to see a politically progressive
secular oppositon in Iraq, which would link up with the
struggle for freedom everywhere in the world.  But in the
mean time I will take a defeat for American and British
imperialism.

warm regards

Gary
