#1 Wouldn't it be better to install a diesel powere generator for local power at each essential user like this water plant and possibly each hospital on an isolated loop protected from Akhmed's home wiring jungle on I Just Go Tivo Street.

#2 If recent history is any guide then as soon as this fancy water treatment plant is turned on some key component will be blown up. An essential part of the AIF strategy is to prevent the Americans or the incumbant Iraqi government from actually accomplishing anything.

#3 Still all things considered... this is awsome news and even if it is blown up several times... it's a step (a huge step forward) in the right direction...

#4 Would you tolerate your 24/7 clean running hot/cold water to be blown up consistently?

When you get used to hot baths and clean clothes and dishes, you don't mess w/Momma. And you also get used to having reliable electricity for longer periods - they won't want people messing w/that, either.

Besides, what the Americans give, we can take away. They want to live like in mo's time, ok by me.

I remember reading a poster who's heart-warming Iraq story was a mother of 8 went out and bot a washer and dryer.

Saved so much time she went out and got herself a job.
