Well danged! Looks as if the Bush/Cheney/Rice/Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz/Perle administration missed on rather obvious and increasingly inmportant aspect in their "liberation", or what ver, of Iraq. The country is made up of 60% Shiites Muslims, who tend to favor a fundamentalist Islamic government. Hmmmmm? Could it be that Bush dumped a guy who wss bending over backwards to please the US over the last few months to get themselves something even worse?

Well, I understand that Katerine Harris and Jeb Bush are going to be dispatched to Iraq proir to any elections to make sure thing come out *just right*! I wish them luck. Their guy's represent at best 20% and the Shiites triple that... Man, it's gonna take a lot of dimpled chads to swing this one.

But what I don't understand, and maybe someone can enlighten me here, is how could this major screw up occur in the planning? I mean, I still have my 1969 college geography book and it plainly says that the Shiites make up 60% of the population of Iraq!

Now I know where I failed my country. I should have mailed that book to Bush months ago....
