Saddam kills 100,000, or 200,000 by one of your links (assumingly to eliminate a small percentage of 'terrorists'), including the indiscriminate rounding up of male Kurds and simply executing them, and your solution is, essentially, "What a mess. Leave me out of it." You must have missed it. 100,000 dead isn't enough. He needs numbers in the millions... Message 18596650

Nothing? That is your solution? Don't you think democratic rule in Iraq might help? What makes you think you're going to get a democracy? Better yet what makes you think the Iraqis are ready for democracy? Or are you okay with leaving a mass murderer in charge. You must think that since it is a mess, we should leave it alone so we don't get stuck in a quagmire. But didn't you say that since the Israeli/Palestinian conflict was a mess, we should fix it? I said we should stop supporting Israel at the exclusion of Palestine. I truly don't understand your logic. Saddam kills 100,000, or 200,000 by one of your links (assumingly to eliminate a small percentage of 'terrorists'), including the indiscriminate rounding up of male Kurds and simply executing them, and your solution is, essentially, "What a mess. Leave me out of it." That's not the issue....we are making a preemptive strike that will cost a fortune in money and good will for what......that whole region is so unstable and so fraught with petty jealousies that it will take decades to straighten it out. I want no part of it. What would you think if Russia saw all the recent conflict between the US and Europe and decided to do a regime change in DC? ted
