Now, Paul Bremer has announced new measures to improve Iraq's border security (BBC NEWS.) They are going to reduce the number of crossing points between Iraq and Iran to three, and double the number of border police. Wow, we have occupied Iraq for almost a year, and we finally realize that maybe it's not a good idea to have lawless anarchy at Iraq's borders. The imcompetence of the Bush administration is breathtaking.
