<<to cover for Bush's poor helmsmanship over the US economy>> I know a little bit about this topic and I can say, without hesitation, that the economy was already in serious decline before Bush took office. He walked into a mess on Jan 20, 2001 and NO president can influence a multi trillion dollar economy in 8 months. Their policies can't even effect it in their first term imo. So lets not finger Bush for where the economy is today like Gephardt so disingenuously did. Keep in mind that most Democrats are on board with this action as well though they may disagree as to how it should be done. The no fly zone was in part created to prevent him from attacking neighbors. While other Arab states say one thing in public they seem to all feel vulnerable with Saddam in power in their region. But don't get me wrong here....The US is not without blame in this situation. The problem is if we do nothing and something happens 10 years from now we will have made yet another mistake. Since I can't tell the future I can't help but feel that a mistake made now would have less fallout than one made that allows Saddam or anyone like him to build to a point where they can threaten the globe.
