Ike, what you say is likely true. But on an individual basis I think cowards/bullies and fanatics cause us more trouble and more to be afraid of than strong people. I don't know if that applies on a world level as well, but on a personal level I never want to corner a coward. Saddam seems to have the ability to whip his country into a frenzy...not against its leaders, but against the U.S. and the rest of the West. At this point there doesn't seem to be any evidence that his people are ready to overthrow him. Minor despots have caused a lot of damage in the world in the past, way out of proportion to their actual size or strength, and I expect they will continue to do so.
