That's nice... screw the rest of Iraq, our people will have electricity, clean water and sewage. Talk about winning hearts and minds....
On a side note, I caught a few minutes of a show on the National Geographic channel last night about security in Iraq... There was a private security company that was escorting a convoy of trucks carrying construction materials to an outlying city of baghdad. Even when they got to their destination in the middle of the night, they had to set up a perimeter with armed guards to unload the trucks. I couldn't even comprehend living in a place like that. I can see the concern with military convoys, but when normal companies have to hire a heavily armed and armored security companies to deliver their products, no wonder the economy and the living conditions there are how they are.

If that doesn't say "IRAQI'S STAY OUT!" I don't know what does...short of putting up a sign and actually having the balls to declare it...
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.
