    Rather than waste time writing copyright laws, why don't they fix their infrastructure, health/education systems and provide essential services. No offense to copyright holders (I myself being one of them) but basic human rights should come before protecting whats yours.

    Step 1: Editor posts story regarding building X in Iraq.

    Step 2: Someone posts saying that we should wait to do X until we feed them and build schools.

    Step 3: GOTO 1.

    Come on people. Could we dispense with the redundant posts that come with every story? Could we add something new for a change that's relevant to this specific story? I'm not saying that I disagree with focussing on rebuilding Iraq, but seriously, we get the idea.

    Besides, what the hell is Hilary Rosen going to do to build a school? I'm not saying I like Hilary Rosen or anything, but building a country CAN work in parallel. Some might say it has to.
