A Word A Day Quote

As a regular subscriber to a daily email from A Word A Day for many years now, I'm thankful to Anu Garg for hosting such a wonderful service.

Today's email had a quote that I thought was quite timely considering all of the heat that the US continues to get from Iraq and the interim government.

The spirit of democracy cannot be imposed from without. It has to come from within. -Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948)

I thought we were liberating these people?!?!? How could Tenet and Bremer possibly be awarded with the Presidential Medal of Honor for their accomplishments?!?!? Are these even remotely in the same league as the likes of Martin Luther King Jr? Can one even credit them with success? This is bullshit.

I hope the troops in Iraq can find further stability & peace, and more than anything come home soon. It's funny how no one is balking at the fact that the US involvement is now clearly & statedly an occupation. I'd venture to say that management fell short of expectations that they themselves set. And, what's happened?

Our enterprise value has tanked. Isn't it time for the Board to shake things up? This is just unacceptable.
