If Saddam had been assassinated, we would be in the real diaper pail. I think George knew that taking out his old buddy Saddam would lead to his replacement by maybe someone intent on a policy of rapprochement with Iran. Now we simply can't have that. So George left Saddam in the palace, hoping that he'd get the message. Now we're finding that Saddam is really good at pushing the boundaries of his assigned place (for lack of a better term) in a sustained and determined manner. So - our illustrious leaders are forced to ignore the nubile junior staff and tend to their little discipline problem. Better to send over the occasional flight of B-1s to spank our boy than have someone ideologically unacceptable take the helm. Like in Cuba or Nicaragua.

(The spell checker rejects "Saddam". I wonder about "Khomeini" or "Guevara". I know - "Marcos"!)
