Hi Neocon; Re: "We could end containment by ending the regime ." It is only your ASSUMPTION that this was an option. It is the DESIRE of the administration to end the policy of containment by ending the Saddam regime; do not mistake DESIRES with OPTIONS. As it is, *the present situation is nothing more than a continuation of containment*, but with the extra feature that it is far more expensive, requires far more soldiers, does damage to our long standing relationships with allies, gives much more encouragement to fundamentalist terrorists and kills far more Americans. If we end up pulling out and Iraq becomes an inherently unfriendly, islamic state, we will be back to option of containment, but we will no longer have the backing of the UN to actually make sanctions stick. So our containment will be hopeless. -- Carl
