Occupation is the (or should be) responsibility of the state department. I think rummy did a great job in Aghanistan and Iraq, I just think Powell should have had a more active role in the occupation. I can understand why he didn't though, what with the insurgents and terrorist still fighting us, thats a job for the military, not diplomats. I'm sure we'll see a shift after the elections in january to a more active role by the state department.
