Scott,

I can't say that I really know any Gulf War vets well enough to know their opinions, but in just listening to people as I run around the city, I hear very few that are happy with the way our President handled the situation. Many feel that Saddam needed to go, but W seemed focused on war.....any attempt at diplomacy was just hoop jumping. Many people feel that we exhibited poor judgement and damaged or inflamed international relationship needlessly.

My Dad is a vet and quite conservative, he is very unhappy.

My Take...Tito ruled Yugoslavia with an iron fist and held it together. Chaos reigned once he died and the pressure was released, I think we will see something similar, but the parties involved will be striking out in a more global manner. Pandora's box is about to be opened. Of course no matter when or how Saddam left power, the situation would seek an equilibrium.

The war may be the most controllable situation we see. Who knows what will follow.

Scott
