"I have been reading lately that a large number of senior Iraqi Army defectors are saying that Saddam's frequent purges have left the Army ready to revolt" The Iraqi army have been wanting to revolt for a long time. The Republican Guard were a major threat to Saddam just before the invasion of Kuwait. Tens of thousands of them got carpet bombed while they retreated, many of them didn't have shoes, let alone guns.

For fear of overlooking another Hitler I prefer to ignore the family Bush aspect. What Saddam has been doing to Kurds, should definitely be a warning sign, and not just for Israelis: the Kurds were primarily human testbed for ABC experiments and secondarily a target for ethnic cleansing (btw - best foreign film 2002 "No-man's land" - "Nichija zemlja" is from Sarajevo and deserves to be seen). Halabdja and !a number of other villages! were bombed with VX/Sarin/aflatotoxin?, with copters and (white-frocked) personnel landing after the attack and doing a raster/chessboard summary ("square B4 14 casualties, 15 m from the impact of bomb XYZ") of the effects. Anyhow, see NYorker few weeks back. dj
