Thanks for the story, Kevin.

While the media can get carried away with the doom and gloom, this guy's
picture of Iraq is *way* too rosy from what I have read.  There are
real problems in the reconstruction.  Can we solve them?  Yeah.  Is it a
'quagmire?' No.  But this guy's attitude is a wee bit dismissive, it
seems to me.
