. In both cases, those who argued otherwise were mistaken--something that will bear remembering during the coming debates over when, where, and how America's unprecedented might should be deployed next Hey, hindsight's a bitch, ain't it? I read one approach that might have been tried. We could have announced that we no longer accepted Saddam as the legitimate Government, and helped the Iraqis set up Governments in the "No Fly Zones." We really already had this with Kurds, The effort to have done with the Shiites would have been larger. But Air could have decimated any push by Saddam to retake the south. We will never know now. And the key thing, of course, is that State hates the rump Iraqi groups. They never wanted any change in stability in the ME.
