Thanks for the link - I'd seen her blog before, but lost it. THis is indeed sad (and scary). I can't see a light at the end of this tunnel, can you?
I have an Iraqi friend here in Canada - we watched a film of people running from an explosion and she saw a doctor running who is a personal friend of hers. She lost it (understandably).
Whether the US army stays or leaves, it may chaos for years to come (worse chaos from the invasion, in my view).

Very sad it is Granny and Gary. I wonder what would be a better scenario: Saddam with his repressive regime as it was or a country in civil war?

Even the conservatives are chiming in about leaving. Buckley and at least one other. I started to post it last night but I was into overload already. If someone else has it, I'll post a link; otherwise, maybe I'll put it on later today.
It's in truthout today - maybe Slate last night. I'd have to go look.
Buckley is wrong I think in much of what he says but he's right about this - just a little late to the party.
