Depends on what they mean by the "coalition".. Imo, Saddam was permitted to continue in power primarily because he's a foil to the aspirations of the radical Iranian mullahs.. But what happens if we see a more moderate Iran emerge (they recently pulled their "revolutionary guard" advisers out of Lebanon)? What if Iran finds itself more allied with the US against some of the unstable Arab states? What if the US wishes to use a potential reapproachment with Iran to hedge its political bets in the region? But more importantly, what if we discover irrefutable proof that Saddam was involved in plotting the WTC attacks? It will be difficult for Bush NOT to move against him if this kind of evidence presents itself. The Coalition be screwed... Btw, they're showing the UNEDITED version of "Saving Private Ryan" on ABC, four letter words and all... I can see George Carlin complaining about how the list of words "you can't say on television" has crumbled to nothingness. Hawk
