gold, The author of that article actually missed a lot of important facts. After Saddam had tried to assasinate the previous President of Iraq, he flew to Cairo where he helped the CIA build an anti-communist coalition to overthrow the Soviet sympathetic government. He was actually considered an ally of the United States up until the invasion of Kuwait. We know him well...he knows us. He has more lives than a cat. In fact, it was recently revealed that Clinton tried to take him out by sending cruise missiles right into the apartments owned by his two mistresses...tried to bag him while he was in the sack. The two women died, along with some of their neighbors, but once again, Saddam lived. Yes its true...the guy has survived, even prevailed in some ways. We now buy a million barrels of oil a day from him of which no doubt, some of the profits are siphoned off to his weapons programs. I think this current talk of having round II is only inspired by the media. We should probably drop all of the sanctions and get on with life since as everyone knows, its the innocent bystanders living in Iraq that pay the price, not him or his friends. -John
