WIN WIN WIN WIN SITUATION

1. weapons of mass destruction eradicated, in accordance with the world's demand, as evidenced in UN 1441

2. oppressed people of Iraq freed from murdering dictator

if you are confused about that ask anyone who has lived under same, people of the eastern bloc countries being a fine example

it is not a "humorous" situation
nor is it a demo libb theoretical situation

3. the possibility of WORLD PEACE becomes viable, because in future orders of the UN or other institution, such as a WORLD COURT, future conflicts will be under pressure to be resolved peacefully or face ACTUAL CONSEQUENCES

4. terrorist activities will be reduced, both because of the threat of ACTUAL CONSEQUENCES and because they will see that whatever their grievances may be, real or imagined, that conflicts can and hopefully will be resolved peacefully

If he understood a commitment existed to help solve the Israel-Palestinian issue,

I'm quite sure he doesn't want this solved. I base that on his support of terrorism and his exploitation of the conflict to garner support from the "Arab street".

that the sanctions upon the people of Iraq would gradually be lifted,


Now there is something he does want.

think, he probably fears the growth of this organization as much as we do

Doubt it. Since AlQaida, as I've noted in past posts, explicitly acts in support of Iraq.

--he might actually agree to the combination of inspections, monitoring and containment.


With a gun to his head, he will agree to anything. He has agreed to inspections again over the last few months precisely because of the gun George Bush has pointed at his head. But according to Blix Iraq is not cooperating yet.
