Iraq might be a far easier opponent than its force strengths indicate. But it also is potentially a very serious military opponent indeed,

Whatever happens, both the campaign and the new government that will take over have to address the issue of federalism, have to address money, have to address national versus provincial versus local power which is different from provincialism and federalism. They have to address the role of religion in politics, the constitution forces the new government to do that.

In reality in this city, on a bipartisan basis, everybody always spins the facts to support the policy they advocate. There are no innocents, ... you better tell policy makers there was a really good case for war.

will end in snatching defeat from the jaws of uncertainty.

If the polls weren't negative, these demonstrations would not matter. They are and that helps make them a media magnet. Looking back at Vietnam, however, it's demonstrations in thousands and tens of thousands that ultimately matter.

We don't know how many leaders there are, how many experienced cadres there are, how many replacements there are.
