Re: State of Iraq

Well, I disagree with your assessment of Iraq, and with your assessment of the merits or wisdom of the initial plan.

Time will tell who is right.

Re: State of Iraq

The scenario is far too complex to be able to calculate EV with any degree of even rough accuracy. Hence a wait-and-see approach is necessary.

Re: State of Iraq

You cannot rightly make that claim, ACPlayer, because the long-term benefits of the Iraq War are as yet unknown.

Simply put, if this turns out to be a successful stepping stone for the spread of...

Re: Oil-For-Food Scam

ACPlayer, in a few years you will likely look back on this and see how wrong you were. It will be fun to see the look on your face then.

Re: State of Iraq

Well, ACPlayer, Iraq is starting to be led from within, and in a democratic manner too. If this Iraq thing works and Iraq fairly soon becomes a democratic country, so much for your entire theory.
