Nobody cares about what happens to Saddam. Even the Arabs want him dead. Nobody cares Bill. Nobody opposes his death. Nobody. That is why you must stop being so foolish about ignoring the flaw in our policy. If the whole world wants him dead why don't they want us to kill him? This is what I have tried more or less patiently to explain to you. The whole world sees the US entering am extremely dangerous new period in US foreign policy -- do you not understand that? Do you not understand why? Do you not understand why even Blair had to distance himself from our policy? You want to pretend that none of this has happened. You want to pretend that everything is on track and makes sense. Fine. Pretend if you like. But this is NOT about WMD, Iraq or Saddam. It is about US foreign policy and the implications for the whole world and the international law which holds it together. Cheney stated the WRONG GOAL and now we must correct that. We have not completed this process, although there is movement in that direction. The whole world is waiting to see if the US meant what it said about regime change as a goal rather than disarmament -- the signals are still mixed and the last definitive word was from Cheney. Now we are in the grey zone of mixed messages. If we get it right this time and state clearly that REGIME CHANGE IS NOT THE PRIMARY GOAL, then we will have the whole world on our side. That has not be done yet.
