We are all feeling depressed at what has happened but Elga is right, we do have to press on as best we can, exposing and hopefully correcting the vile injustices and crimes that are bound to arise from what has happened. I share Elga's view that (a) Making this takeover of Iraq as difficult as possible for the invaders, or even thwarting some of their nefarious plans, may act as some disincentive to further takeovers. We should support any efforts to deny the Occupiers access to Iraqi money or oil, or any ability to grant contracts that Iraq will pay for. We should push for UN involvement on all levels. We should seek to deny the Occupiers any authority to do anything beyond what the Geneva Conventions allow them.
