<< One of the rationale for the sanctions was to make it difficult for him to build weapons to threaten his neighbors. With an expanded containment strategy, this rationale makes less sense. There are US strikes on a daily basis. >> An expanded containment strategy? Iraq's got hundreds of trucks bringing in goods every week, especially across the border with Jordan. Why do you think that the US is so interested in stopping Russia and China from supplying Iraq with weapon technology and parts? It's because the US knows that it can't control Iraq's borders! An important method to slow Saddam's ability to build weapons of mass destruction is to cut off his funds. << The US is not putting forth the premise that we're containing Iraq since they're training and funding terrorists. So, your argument doesn't wash. >> Saddam could give a damn about his people. If you allow Saddam to get his hands on billions of dollars he will use those funds for his own evil plans, just like he is doing right now. OTOH, feel free to send money to Iraq, if you feel differently. Just as long as it's not my money! << You need to listen very carefully to what the US government stated when it attacked last December. >> Do you always take the government's spin word for word without thinking for yourself? << If they weren't aware of the unintended consequences of a splintered Iraq, they would've taken him out in 1991. >> This was a big blunder by George Bush. His other blunder was sending troops to their deaths in Somalia right after losing the 1992 elections to Clinton. I will never forgive him for that. I would rather see a splintered Iraq then have the possibility of Saddam once again deploying weapons of mass destruction.
