It's not far from the truth. When the hardline returned to power, they shut down over 90 newspapers and severely curtailed access to the Internet. There used to be a KFC in Tehran. Blue jeans were available to many at that time.

Now all the kids didn't start saying that, but the leaders started in with it. And the populace was cowed.

I still think that would have happened with or without Bush.

Maybe, maybe not. The prediction comes from people living there, so I choose to believe it for now.

Face it.... one grenade in the Spider Hole and move on.... we blew it.
Pick up the Head later and claim he was killed by meatball_t e s/Sunnis/Kurds and Whey and hacked up.

Now we settled the Trial crap, the Religious sect violence... and we would have saved money.

Now when we bombed Mawaqari we spent two 500 lbrs carriered by 1 Fiters, followed by another fiter and the use per minutes of the fiters + 500 lbr's..$$$?

Do the math 1 grenade ~vs~ Saddam, Months of Trials, Dead Laywers....$$$?

I would have done the Grenade thingy...

But that's just me.

Perhaps we need to export more lawyers to iraq. I hear they have a shortage of them and this could solve some problems for both countries.

Maverick's got a great idea.  Send Hillary first.
