I gave a lot of thought to Saddam's possible role, and was at one time convinced that he was involved. I have my doubts now. Things are going well for him. He is evading sanctions, which are gradually being lifted anyway. He is in control of his country. The Kurds are toast. He no longer has UN inspectors to watch over him. He is no doubt quietly re-building his military capacity. And everything he has accomplished by stealthily evading sanctions and fine tuning his control of his country can be blown to smithereens within a couple of weeks by air raids. Why would he risk everything he has accomplished after the Gulf War? Doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, that's how I would think if I were Saddam.
