SirR, I didn't mean that he is suicidal. He will do everything possible to avoid that. That's why he checked with the Big Dog, USA, before attacking Kuwait. One has to question the reason for the ambassador giving him the green light - why was that? I just meant he loves confrontation and increasing power - even at the risk of his death, which he will at all costs avoid. He does NOT like Peace, Light, Harmony and Love. Offering peace is NOT attractive to Saddam unless it opens a way for him to do more of what he really enjoys. Like a mountain climber, he will accept the risk to achieve the heights of power. My ideal is that Iraq, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia [and maybe a couple of rats and mice] be annexed by a reconstituted United Nations, with the oil being used to fund the arrangement. Geopolitical wars and nationalism, in anarchy, are no way to run a railroad. A casual observer can see the absurdity of the situation, especially as the prospects of major damage increases. 747s, water supplies, nuclear weapons, nanotechnology, toxins - the world is vulnerable to things like aircraft into the Twin Towers. But the world won't just accept Guantanamo treatment from the Biggest Dog as a solution to the mess. Everyone wants human rights, not just Americans. Neither will the Biggest Dog, or anyone, accept totalitarian thugs having a say. Revamping the rules is what's needed. We the People, Mqurice
