Neil,
When comes to hand out's they are the first in line. But to fight over a moral issue they will quickly do a back step. The issue once again is economics 101.
Once we've kicked the snot out those Sadam folk they want to step in line and make money off of the people who are left to pick up the tab.
It will take us a while to finish the clean up looking for those rascals who are in hiding. Then the issue of nation building will begin. How many will be there to skim off their cut?
We really don't want to be another big brother watching out for their backsides with troops but I see no other choice. I'd move out of Saudi and put a nice fat installation in the Eastern Iraq area where we can nail any of the other radicals that take exception to US issues and who would persacute others.
Just a thought
