"Who's fault is that? I have to ask!"
Mary Anne — (archived)

What difference does that make? I have to reply!

Pointing fingers at Saddam does nothing to restabilize the nation. And it does less than nothing to establish the infrastructure necessary to provide the conditions in which a democracy is even possible, let alone likely.

People don't think much about their higher needs until their basic ones are met.

Blaming Saddam for the condition in which he kept the country will only be useful if we intend to sue him for lack of upkeep. Being unprepared for the extent of required rebuilding is one more example of lack of realistic appraisal of the situation.

Re: the aid and assistance: Good. I did see that. Let's see how far the money goes, and whether the shooting is restricted only to people in uniform (may it stop soon). That's the value of civil order: the helping professions can do their jobs.
