What would you rather have happen? Keep Saddam at bay or let him keep crossing the line, building up weapons so he can fire Scud missiles, maybe even Nuclear weapons, at Israel and other neighbors? Jim, could you please show me the report that lends support to such a possibility? There is an economic embargo on Iraq. Iraq has not been able to sell their oil until recently. Recent Iraqi photos show their army marching thru the capital...intended to impress and intimidate..my reaction was just the opposite. This is a joke. I suppose if Iraq was able to resume their level of productivity prior to the war, they might be able to put something together. But I see no evidence of them being able to do that under current conditions. Are you some kind of Israel hater or baiter? Huh? It was determined a long time ago that the US and some other allies would keep the area stable in lieu of Israel and the Saudis...who are perfectly capable of doing it. Why in lieu of Israel and the Saudis? ted
