i wonder what the assumed relation is between this stream of information on the order of "the american occupation is doing some good"--which seems to me obvious at some level, at least in that it explains why there is not complete fiasco, complete catastrophe in iraq--and the legitimacy of the war itself. i recognize that some folk who oppose the war, and who opposed it, have some difficulty processing such "good" as is being done by the american occupation--but it seems to me that this cuts both ways, and that this thread is working entirely on conservative/bush administration grounds by trying to use such "good" as is being done as a way of avoiding troubling questions about the war itself, declaring them "moot" etc....
so how about it, folks--can you look simultaneously at this type of information, applaud it and concede that the war itself was illegitimate?
