No. I was very impressed with the character of the parliamentarians. Hopefully, with the help of our Speaker, we can get some of them over here so that more Members of Congress can actually get a chance to visit with them, to learn from them, to talk to them and perhaps to ask them some questions. What I was talking about earlier as well is from an article that I think we both read on the plane on the way home that was written by Melvin Laird. If anyone would like a copy, they can just send me an e- mail at [email protected]. We will send you a copy of this article. I think from my perspective it actually put into perspective a lot of the things we saw on our visit and why it is so important as soon as we can and as much as we can, we need to turn more of the authority, the responsibility for managing the affairs of the Iraqi people, back to the Iraqis themselves.
