The point I was making Hermann was that some good things will inevitably come from this war. The eradication of Saddam from power is undoubtedly a good thing. And the "marshlands" project was simply something that caught my eye. I still think it was wrong and I hope you detect the sarcasm in my last post!



I agree with you that there is a massive environmental disaster in Iraq. However, I cannot say that everything to do with this war is wrong. I have repeatedly stated that I try to remain objective. I don't think my post was in any way cynical. Ecologically speaking, one can never talk of "total" disaster. You chop down rainforest and previously rare species that inhabit naturally occurring forest gaps become common. Phyllomedusa bicolor is a great example of this.
