Oh don't be silly - there's a right way to do things and a wrong way. The current administration has a knack of picking the wrong way at (almost) every possible turn.

Instead of giving local dissent a peaceful and legitimate forum in the form of an elected government - the US decides to hire ruthless killers and torturers from the old regime to kill any opposition... well duh! That will win hearts and minds, eh?

Let's tackle crime by making sure the police are as brutal as possible - trained by those who know more about brutality than any other police force in the world. That way, when there's a crime - its easy to find the culprit: he's the one wearing a police uniform.

Or perhaps we should just 'fire' 1.5 million people leaving them with only one way to feed their families: armed robbery - that should give our new police force something to do when they're not beating up innocent folk in their homes.

Instead of concentrating on providing power, water and food - why not concentrate on getting the oil flowing instead? People can do without basic commodities, but they can't do without oil, eh? I mean, when temperatures climb above 50 degrees, there's nothing nicer than a cool drink of crude while paddling in an oil bath...

Get the picture? What should be done is obvious to just about everyone in the world - unless of course, the object of the game is not freedom for the Iraqi people but proctecting an 'asset'.
