robbie, I know I said I wasnt going to get into this. But you seem to think that attacking Iraq is some kind of "solution." The essential problems in that region are political. You address them politically. Ranting about Arabs may be satisfying to you personally, but it really solves nothing. What do you have in mind for a post-Hussein Iraq? You want to take the guy out. Fine. What follows and who sets it up and how long will it take and what kind of commitment? And since you are so concerned about nuclear weapons, there are a number of countries in the region that possess fully operational devices. How will they react to our proposed "solution"? And since we are taking out Saddam, one of the great Axis of Evil leaders, how can we let Iran and North Korea off the hook? Should we invade there too? How will they respond to unilateral military action against Iraq? How will other Arab states respond? The questions go on and on and on. And the reason they do is because it is BAD POLICY. It is an egocentric military policy proposed to solve a political problem. It is based on ignorance and deception. The last time this country engaged in something like that, it ended with people clinging to helicopters as they fled Saigon. M2
PS That's definitely my last word. Later.
