Hi PartyTime; Re: "We could see: a) an extremely bloody slaughter of people, both theirs and ours; or, b) a city under a longlasting seige should the US decide not to move in to capture (or kill) Saddam. Both scenarios will not be viewed as friendly by future historians."

Israel laid a seige around Beirut a while back. Read more about their experiences here: #reply-18070975 The Israelis had some difficulty taking the city, but eventually achieved their short term objectives. But their long term objectives failed and they eventually left with their tail between their legs.
