I don't think we were wroing to go over there; I just think we need to get the mew government in place and get out of there.  Bush is spreading things too thinly now, and needs to pay more attention to what's going on at home.

We are losing jobs by the thousands.  My boss told me over one-half of all Americans are without medical insurance of any sort.  That worries me far more than the fate of the Kurds.  If we can't looik after our own, how can we look after others?

And for your information, my boss is Director of Compensation and Benfits and so is in a position to know this stuff. Also, he's very conservative and so is unlikely to present a liberal view.

kat,
  have you not heard that the electricity is now up
and up consistantly for more people than it was before
the war. i dare say not becouse only one news org here
in the states will report it and you are not watching
that one. this is only one element of infrastructure,
but another is the schools. more kids are in school
now and in new schools than before the war.  (girls
are allowed now.)  a georgia democratic congressman
made a trip over to see why things were going bad over
there. he returned to atlanta and criticised the news
orgs for not reporting how well things were going. he
accused abc, nbc, cbs and cnn of "being responsible
for some of the deaths of our soldiers by not
reporting accurately." a couple of democratic reps
from a couple other states that was on this trip did
similar reports in there districts. i saw an interview
with the main man in the weapons search (wish i could
remember his name, keep thinking the last name is
kelley, but not sure) couple weeks ago telling tony
snow on the fox report that he found it amazing how
little of the evidence of the fact that the wmds were
there and moved ever got to the news. he sited in his
report to congress that 3 scientist had some of the
biological stuff in thier home refridgerators.
  what worries me if we can't lay hands on this stuff,
it will wind up in isreal or maybe in manhattan. i am
not going to forget the kurds in 88 and all the u.n.
reports that they were there and yes, the clinton
admin. reports that they were there. i am afraid that
america has another rude awakening coming our way.
   forget history and it will remind you.
