Millions starve everywhere Famines were unavoidable before modern technology. Now, most of them are created by the hand of man. Definitely true in Korea. You want to overthrow everyone from Saudi Arabia to Iraq, Iran, Syria, JOrdan (?), North Korea the Palestinians. Well, no I don't want to do it. In North Korea's case, the lunatics running the asylum have nukes now, so it's not prudent to try -- only to pray that they permit the regime to fall without killing millions more people. I don't want to have to say the same about Iraq, a player with a much more aggressive track record.

You want to overthrow everyone from Saudi Arabia to Iraq, Iran, Syria, JOrdan (?), North Korea the Palestinians. And you and Isreal want the US to do it. And what you have DOD do with all the money you think Bush should have dedicated to them?? Iraq first.. and hopefully the rest will get the message so we only have to face down Saudi Arabia... Btw, Karen.. have you noticed all the MAJOR changes that are taking place in Iraq since Bush turned up the "heat" on Saddam?? Saddam just emptied all of his prisons of political prisoners.... news.bbc.co.uk That hasn't happened in the 12 years since the US was involved in this insane "containment" policy... And the UN "resolutions" didn't cause it... The underlying meaning is that Saddam is VERY FRIGHTENED and his acts of "graciousness" are indicative that his hold on power is diminishing... And that's more progress than ANY administration since Ws daddy has made with regard to Saddam. I think Bush's policy is having the "desired impact".. And hopefully we'll be able to avoid bloodshed between Iraqi and American soldiers. Hawk
