I just think we went about it too caustiously; protecting Mosques, etc., when they were used as forts and ammo storage areas by the enemy.

Thread drift, I know, but I can't see how bombing Mosques would have helped when you consider that, 1) bombing Mosques accomplishes the opposite of "winning the peace" (hearts and minds), and 2) we never even bothered to secure the weapons that the UN inspectors had put under seal (not in Mosques), and which, due to not being secured after the invasion, were then taken by insurgents, and presumably used to kill US military personnel.

Ok, back to the subject of hurricanes.
