Does anyone have any ideas how to extricate ourselves from this mess?
This week we have had sabotage on an oil pipeline which will take weeks to repair, causing the price of oil to rise and costing $7 billion a day. A water pipeline in Baghdad was badly damaged stopping the water supply. Electricity power lines are stripped of their copper as soon as they are replaced. Further attacks on US/British forces and the first death of a Danish serviceman (possibly by friendly fire). A mortar attack on a prison kills six people and wounds 58 more and a Reuters' cameraman is mistakenly killed by a US soldier.
There is no sign of life returning to normal whilst all this is going on and until that happens we are forced to remain there. However, how long will the American people continue to support the occupation as the cost in lives as well as in $$ is mounting?
I'm old enough to remember pictures of the body bags during the Viatnamese war, I notice we don't see those any more.
What should we do?
