Or, simply let Saddam keep Kuwait and add the oil revenues to his stockpiles to be spread among a lot more people than just millionaire Kuwaitis. <We'll just never know how things might have turned out differently had we forced Saddam to answer for his aggression against Kuwait. Recall that Al Qaida formed during the mid-90's. It's quite possible that we might have been able to focus on them, rather than being incessantly distracted by inspections and maintaining an economic and military embargo against Saddam. > The effort required to inspect Saddam's WMDs wasn't all that great. Scott Ritter and a few others were doing it without costing a fortune and said that they didn't think there were WMDs to matter. There wasn't really a need for a military or economic embargo which didn't seem to affect Saddam's lifestyle. Saddam sought permission to invade Kuwait from April Glaspie who said the USA wasn't too worried. en.wikipedia.org The words weren't quite like that, but that was the effect of the interchange, whatever actual words were said. AlQaeda's 911 attack would have been simply stopped by giving pilots a weapon a bit better than a cockpit axe and shutting the cockpit doors. It was obvious to me that the open cockpit door was a hazard but I didn't say anything to the air crew because we all know how mad they are - they would consider any comment a threat. You'd think that "military intelligence" could have worked out that open cockpit doors was a bad strategy. The best strategy was for Saddam to offer a New UN reconstitution conference in Baghdad and offer them residency, World HQ, and Iraq as the first member of the new federal UN constitution. He could have offered the NUN 10% of the Iraqi and Kuwaiti oil reserves as funding. Instead, we got the WWI option which will continue to grind away at millions of lives. But there were beneficiaries. One of the favourite methods of some businesses is to find ways to get competitors out of business. Can you think of anyone who did well by having Iraq in a big mess with oil unable to be sold? Mqurice
