The logic of your angle is excellent. Simplicity and Clarity go well together. Nice piece.<BR/><BR/>Mr Thompson makes a good point in what they've done compared to what they could do.

Until now they have pretty much kept hands off Irag--certainly in comparison to the mischief they are capable of making.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
