Looks like we will go through the same thing every few years

The job in the Persian Gulf war was to liberate Kuwait, which the Allied forces did. But I knew full well we would be back dealing with the nut case. If we do air strikes now how long before we are back doing it again? This is very costly business in terms of life and money. As a taxpayer who is funding this I'm fed up with it! One of the only things that come out of these air strikes is a testing ground for advanced weapons. The problem is that we are dealing with human life here not scorpions in a remote desert.

I have to think that the only solution, either now or later by Israel, is a full scale invasion of the country. How it can be done with limited loss of life I don't know and it really bothers me to think that war is the solution. Would it be possible to invade Iraq with troops and eliminate Hussein and install some sane leadership? I feel that if we don't take extremely drastic action that ultimately Israel will and they will not use ground forces, they will bomb to destroy Iraq and that means a horrible loss of life for innocent people.

If not for our dependence on oil we would
let the Arab nations kill themselves and not get involved.

As long as we have cheap oil coming from that region we will certainly have a military presence. I remember the '70's oil crisis and I thought back then that we would have alternatives in the future and certainly by 2000. Not much motivation with oil as cheap as it is. I think the technology exists for alternatives but the cost and political reasons will keep a lid on it until we are forced to deal with it.
