Sure I have heard of the plight of the kurds, and I feel for them...especially since Bush sr hung em out to dry last time around. Is it our place to solve every problem in the world? Would we be so righteous and ready to depose a dictator if there weren't the oil reserves under the country. There are plenty of other dictators that we don't seem to be charging in to displace in the name of morality.. Keep Saddam contained. I don't think he is nearly the threat that the Administration wants us to believe. good day.. Scott
