I think that our support of Saddam in the 80's was reckless Our immorality then weakens any moral case that we make now. Is that selective enforcement? Maybe Weakens our case further. Is there good cause for it? I think so You are not so sure. Now you see why the majority of the rest of the world opposes this attack which can cause 500,000 Iraqi casualties. The outrage that this attack will generate will affect our exports for years. And international travel will take a hit killing off our airlines. In an interconnected world, it is sheer folly to engage in an unjust and unpopular attack. Saddam has been and can be contained. His neighbors do not fear him. Turkey has apparently turned down $30 billion to aid on an attack on Iraq. If Iraq posed even the slightest threat to Turkey, would the Turks have turned down such an offer? In my opinion, this attack is immoral, unjust, inhumane and unnecessary. We have lots to lose and little to gain. May wisdom and humanity prevail.
