the infrastucture has been detieriating for 30 years
while saddam put the money into the military. not all
was destroyed by our bombing, but, yess, we do need to
concentrate on that. we have engineers there to do
that, however it is hard to run pipe when being fired
upon, so some military action has to continue. i agree
with deri, we should not flunt the stuff. i too do not
mind the gis getting it, but hell yes the
infrastucture needs to be rebuilt and brought up to
date if necessary. once that is done, i think the
iraqi populus will be less hostile and even
cooperative.
  i do not wish to be critical since i am not totally
aware of what is involved in rebuilding that
intrastructure.
