Al, the point is that Saddam WILL use his weapons, cornered or not. Oil is irrelevant; the U.N. will have a change of heart once Saddam gets belligerent again. And guess who they'll be calling for help? America should neither be unilateralist nor isolationist. Tenchusatsu

Using the reasoning that he gassed his own people is a strained attempt at feeding our fear and sense of morality. If Kuwait had not been an oil rich country, on the northern border of another oil rich country, do you think we would be talking about this? When Saddam attacked Iran he fought to a stalemate for eight years and presumably used poison gas...and it is said that we provided weapons to him as he did. Since the Kuwait war the world has witnessed events of extreme brutality in places like Rwanda, for example, without nary a sign of concern for morality. ET AL Al, well said! ted
