Subject: BS: Now that the war is over
I know, there will be some more fighting and more or less innocent people will still get killed, some more suicide attacks will be more or less successful, but the main part of this war is over. So:
Now that the war is over tell me where you have been wrong (I know most Mudcatters, explicitely not excluding myself here, prefer to tell others that they have been right but I assure you that usually you can learn more for yourself from being wrong).
I have been wrong (maybe not actually on the record here in Mudcat, but I know I have said it offline) in my assessment that the war would be over in about a week. I would have expected more Iraqi troops surrendering in the first few days without any fight. I have underestimated the ability of the regime to force their people to fight. I would have thought the breakdown from within would have come somewhat earlier.
Up to you now.
