Would you still support a war? Tim, at this point, I would. The problems are in two categories: a) It would be consistent with Saddam's behavior to begin to cave now; he could do lots of things today, but as soon as we leave the Gulf he could be back up to what he has been doing for the last several years. Then what? b) More importantly, we have these other Arab countries (and, for that matter, Europe) laying it on the line: Jordan, Qatar, Yemen, Kuwait, Turkey. Inside Iraq, we already have people in Iraq organizing the Shiites and Kurds. We cannot walk away from them -- else, if we DID need to go back (after Saddam began his hijinx again) then we would have no support from anyone. There is nothing that can happen at this point that is going to stop the war.
