#1 Actually, Giuliani is already down in Mexico - they've got it as bad - so this is the best that could be done under these conditions. Ignore foreign/domestic criticism of "installing" him, round up as many of those 100,000 criminals given amnesty by Saddam last year as possible, and we've got it made :)

#2 watch out for those Mullahs: you do NOT want another Islamofascist state.

Train and arm the women and give them a sense of independance and basic civil rights. That will change the culture from the ground up.

#3 And let's make sure that the electricity and water systems are up to pre-war levels in Baghdad. Read a New York Post article the other day by John Foreman, and according to him, the combat troops are putting in 18 hours a day patrolling and nabbing perps. The Civil Affair guys, mostly reservists, are out of the office by 5 and unavailable until the next morning. The striking thing about the article is that the trigger men have so much empathy with the population, the guys who should don't.

I've never been in the military, but have known lots of retired guys, and the good, hardworking ones were the trooper kind and the assholes were the civil affair types. Let's not screw it up, guys.

#4 I like the suggestion about training and arming the women and giving them a sense of independance and basic civil rights. Then turn them loose when they've got PMS, and get out of the way.
