#1 AH HAH! [dislocates arm, patting myself on back]

I've been saying all along that the Tikrit thugocracy and its spawn were a criminal enterprise and not government. If the United States operated this way, Robert "Klucker" Byrd and Ted "Swim For It" Kennedy would be related by blood, rather than just having been sired by the same master vampire. BTW, just where is Buffy when you need her?

#2 I have long felt it would be a major breakthrough when Iraq stopped having the feel of a military campaign, and evolved into something like a big episode of "Cops". The psychology is completely different, as are the techniques. Eventually, the smarter criminals will realize that there is a lot more money to be made in "money", than there is in violence. In other words, smuggling consumer goods instead of weapons; drugs, gambling and prostitution instead of kidnapping and murder, etc.

#3 The real story in Iraq now is the contest between democrats and fascist gangs. This isn't civil war, this is the suppression of fascist criminals intent on strangling democracy in its crib.

#4 This is what would have happened had the federal German government had the strength to go after the brownshirts in the 1920's (instead of having their treasury looted paying reparations to the French).
