#1 Yes we will be liberators to most of the Kurds and Shia. However, a big question mark is the Sunni center of the country.

In some towns in the Sunni center, the number of Baathist thugs who deserve capital punishment is pretty low and the number of people who hate Saddam is high. However, in other towns, a majority of the male adults are on Saddam's payroll in one way or another.

#2 MB likes the thought of Stormin' Norman; she had the same thought last week. As to those grifting on Saddam's payroll: they'll just have to learn what unemployment really means, the poor dears!

#3 they want a muslim - you could of course have someone who is BOTH a muslim AND an AMERICAN. thsi fellow Khalilzad, who was our point man on Afgan politics, and is now Admin point man on Iraq politics - a long time Bush loyalist, very adroit, and definitely a MUSLIM. Somehow thats not what the UN people have in mind, i suspect.

If it cant be an American (and i suppose a Kuwait is out), how about an Afgan???
