One Step at a Time

Because we can’t solve all the world’s problems at once, that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to solve some. Yesterday Afghanistan, today Iraq, whither tomorrow?

I watched this live on the CBS Webcast this morning. A little bit of history. I wonder what the Information Minister will have to say about this, given that the statue is right in front of the Palestine Hotel, where the journalists have been since the start of the war, and from where he claimed yesterday that the Americans were routed.

An interesting metaphor somewhere here for the “Iraqis should depose Saddam on their own” crowd. The people in the square were whaling away at the plinth and the statue, but it was simply too solid. So the Americans moved up their crane-on-a-Bradly (forgive my ignorance of military hardware), and gave them a helping hand.

Later I saw a bunch of Iraqis hauling Saddam’s head down the street.

Heh.
