Roger that Jim

We never intended, nor should we, to do invasions perfectly. The apparatus necessary to do what’s being polinuanced goes against every instinct our nation is likely to ever posses.

I can think of a few reason why things are not “going well” in Iraq;

#1 We did not farmed it out. under the UN it dosent get done, and we never leave (korea)

#2 We are in there as though we were in Julia Child’s Kitchen, measuring everything. We don’t know how to do it any other way. thank God for that.

#3 What we have to compare to (the Soviets comes readily to mind) is unacceptable, in fact is not even contemplated!

A perfect US invasion is a fantasy. Could there be a reason why invasions require force? Could the level of ‘perfection’ go up relative to the level of force? Do we really want to find out?

Is it still worth it? You bet.

The benifits of a democratic Iraq, as it relates to the war on terror, will be enormous. Even if is not a Jeffersonian Iraq. Look, Arafat is not stiking around to find out.
