I have some hope from the Basra situation. Revolt was hinted at there. 
Unfortunately it may have caused the death of many civilians.

This is my wish; that what the US government says is true; that they 
were prepared for what is happening; that Sadam's regime will quickly 
crumble; that Bush has more brains than he exhibits publicly; that the 
Iraqi people will at least allow if not support the overthrow of Sadam; 
that this fight is worth fighting; that it helps resolve the 
Israel/Palistine problems; that our sons and daughters come home 
(victorious if possible, but at least with honor).

Tony Blair gives me some hope for the situation. His words ring true; 
his passion speaks loudly. I know many strongly support Bush, but my 
faith in him is stretched thin. Next to Blair in yesterdays news 
conference, he seemed to be in over his head.

The contracts awarded Cheney's old business friends, and the resignation 
of Perle, seem to caste doubt on motives.

Rebuttal welcome!

Flame away ;-)
