#1 Read an interesting article in the Chicago Tribune that noted that many Iraqis are fed up with Saddam, though they won't say so publicly, for obvious reasons. The other interesting comment was how they all saw themselves as Iraqis first, regardless of their ethnic/religious background. The article noted that Iraqis, despite the war, blockade and Saddam, remain a cosmopolitan people. It looks as if the Shi'ites might be pleased as punch to be part of a federal Iraq that is forward looking and rebuilding with some oil wealth, as opposed to being saddled with a new set of oppressors, er, mullahs. Certainly the Kurds would be in clover.

Regards (and a big thanks once again for your continued excellence on this website)
