Dear Gawd!!

1. There was no bloodbath being created in Fallujah until the insurgents decided to burn four contractors.

2. I want to know what you precisely mean by stealing the nation's resources? Do you have some odea we are pumping Iraqi oil into ships at night and smuggling it off to feed our SUVs in Washington DC?

3. If the infrastructure for the oilfields is not rebuilt, how does Irag initialize its own economy? Selling burqas to Buddhists?

I don't thik you are stupid at all. I was simply making an observation that Sadr is another Hussein waiting to happen. If th epurpose of allthis is to establish a democracy, his terrorism -- and I think that is a fair description -- needs to be dealt with. If all we are there for is to "steal oilfields" we should be dobne with it -- steal and get the hell out.    But it will be a mess.
