After the First World War the economic problem was no longer one of production. It was the problem of finding markets to get the output of industry and agriculture dispersed and consumed.

In occupied Iraq, the introduction of new paper money took almost a year, 20 or so Boeing 747s, the mobilisation of the U.S. military's might, three printing firms, and hundreds of trucks.

The biggest problem was the politicians knew nothing about fighting a war.

The economic and social problems would tend to become, like the military situation, more and more difficult as time went on and we became more and more isolated.

There were different challenges along the way. Certainly the food shortage was unpleasant.

The real problem was not the troops; the real problem was that only the United States had the infrastructure to do the transport of troops with big planes, and then who will pay?

There wasn't so many ISSUES like there are today. It was a simpler time.

I guess whenever I'm in the paper, it's dealing with bridges falling apart, budget problems, pension crises - and saying we have to tackle these problems.

Too often, a problem is allowed to fester until it reaches a crisis point... and the American people are left asking the question: what went wrong and why?

History is just littered with problems that were solved that were supposed to be impossible.
