But isn't that a part of the whole thing--what happens afterward? Why do you think Turkey is demanding its 80K military force be 170 miles inside of northern Iraq? Is the US willing to go to war with Turkey to get them out?

When you really look closely at all of this, it's easy to see that Bush doesn't have a clue. I mean he's trying to blame Kurds who have affinity with Iran and who have affinity with Al Qaeda as Kurds who have affinity with Saddam! And Bush is doing this just to look good before the American audience!

And one would certainly be remiss to look at this particular Middle East crisis without also considering the implications as to what would or could happen in Lebanon with Israel and Palestinians; what would or could happen inside of Pakistan (revolt); what would or could happen inside of Saudi Arabia (revolt); what could happen inside of Turkey (revolt). Meanwhile, everything in Cyprus is just rosy, ain't it?

Juxtrapositionally, we've got North Korea who appears as itchy as Bush!

This ain't a simple matter of marching in with America's best might and taking out Saddam. If you really think about the implications to it all, Saddam actually might be part of the solution rather than the problem itself.
