Greg: thanks for posting this thread. I hope we all wish the Iraqi people well. They certainly have endured hardships for the last thirty years that few of us can fully understand. God speed to them, I say.

Of course, as is usual on the Mudcat, I'm sure, Greg, that this thread will attract a large number of naysayers. So be it, I say. I also say, for the Iraqis, "let freedom ring"!
