I'll meter you!
I thought this was an interesting quote. I found it at the Iraq-o-meter of all placesExtending the war into Iraq would have incurred incalculable human and political costs. We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq. The coalition would instantly have collapsed, the Arabs deserting in anger and other allies pulling out as well. Exceeding the U.N.'s mandate would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land.-- From "Why We Didn't Remove Saddam" by George Bush [Sr.] and Brent Scowcroft, Time Magazine, 1998
Plus I now have the bare-bones of the game loader and network components of Axis & Allies done. Still gotta finish them by sunday. I say it can be done.
