Zo Re...And what indications do you have that we're seriously making an effort do that? Sure, Saddam's undesirable, but he's far from the source of all of the terrorism in the world.
The growth I was talking about there was economic growth, not the growth in Terrorism. A lot of people ask, why Iraq; when the real question is why not Iraq. While Saddam isn't the greatest proponent of terrorism in the middle east, he does sponsor terrorism, and right now is the easiest target to justify. We beat communism by containing it; and we contained communism by stopping communism's expansionist plans in NK, Vietnam, Iran, Nicuagra, Afghansitan, etc. We can beat terrorism much in the same way, by dividing and conquering it. If we allow OBL to combine with Saddam's WMD, OBL could easily put enough pressure on SA, to take over that gov. Then OBL would really have the US in a bind with Saddams WMD, the oil weapon, plus the buying power, Sa oil fields give him. With a friendly gov. in Iraq, we can put pressure on Iran, and keep SA out of OBL hands. Eventually OBL will pooper out, just like communism. |
