Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "It's not that love Saddam, you just blacken the effort to get rid of him, until it begins to sound like you think it was a bad idea (actually, you did think it was a bad idea, didn't you?)." Who gives a shit what happens to the Iraqis, I certainly don't. The problem is that getting rid of Saddam made our own situation worse. See, for example: Bilow, September 26, 2002 If all Bush wanted to do was to drop a bomb on Saddam and kill him I doubt many people would be complaining about it. The problem is that Bush is talking up military activities that will kill, in the very best case, many tens of thousands, and could possibly a hell of a lot more. #reply-18037153 Now we're stuck in an unwinnable guerilla war against a population that hates us deeply. And our administration has painted itself into a corner with its early claims that they went into Iraq with a large enough force. Over the next six months the neocons will begin talking about how to get enough troops to keep Iraq pacified. Since the only way they can do this is to bring back the draft, the American public will deep six them in 2004. -- Carl
