Larry--Dam Right!!!!
I don't think this war should have been fought at all and I said so when they went. As we know now, Saddam was never the threat that people made him out to be. we know now that he had no WMDs despite all th Bush administrations lies and that Bush/Cheney were dead set on taking us to war no matter what. Containment was actuallydoing a pretty good job and was costing the US a whole lot less in money and lives--now we're buried up to our necks in another quagmire and a very deadly one, with no end in sight
Sadddam knew how to keep thelid on his own people. Crimes against humanity? that didn't seem to bother Reagan or Bush I or Rumsfeld when he was in Iraq in the late 80s setting up the deals for the raw materials for WMDs. ever see the picture of him and Saddam embracing? My how quick things change--before the last election Bush was preaching noninvolvement in foreign rlations, now its domination--don't think th rest of the worl doesn't think so..
Saddam could rule Iraq but we won't be able to any more than we could rule th Vietnamese. the bush administration broke one of the main rules learned so well in Vietnam--don't go to war unless you have an end game in mind. The unilateral acton by the US and the inept plannning of the Bushites ensure that America will be seeing body bags coming home for a long long time.
And for what? A more peaceful Middle East? Bringing peace by bringing war never works
here's a suggestion--subcontract the war to the Vietnamese instead of Halliburton--they know how to win an undercover guerilla war
(oops I forgot Cheney wasn't CEO of Vietnam)
