That what a former PM is saying. I find it laughable, you?

A former Iraqi prime minister said a state of emergency and martial law in Iraq were necessary to establish law and order in the country.

In a one-to-one interview with former BBC's Hardtalk presenter Tim Sebastian to be broadcast on BBC World today, Eyad Allawi also warned multinational forces against premature withdrawals that may cause a 'massacre', after Britain announced a pullout of its troops in December.

"You promised law and order but nobody can bring law and order in Iraq," said Sebastian as the interview began at Qatar Foundation last week.

That should have been in place when we first invaded Iraq, not now. That would really cause a backlash.IMO.

uh...it's a little late. We could have gotten away with it for a little while at first, maybe, but we've got too many bad feelings against us to pull it off now.

Why oh why did the Bush administration refuse to think these things out first? They're like irresponsible teenagers!

(no offense to any teenagers present, who are way more mature than BushCo).
