>>>Stop right there! Whatever makes you think this was the only outcome? When did I say he was a nice guy and we should leave him alone? As far as I am concerned, we could have stretched the sanctions (or a modified version of them) until he died. He could not have lived forever...and this is just one of many options. >>> Making a bit of progress here, we both seem to agree that Saddam was such a threat that he could not be permitted a free reign. Attempts to eliminate him , even by his own own people, failed. Even if successful that leaves Udai or Ousai as the ruler. Does anybody want to write an oil development or any other contract with one of those two? But time moves on, they are finished, and we would be better employed to think about the next problem like N Korea or Iraqi security. Sig
