<Fascist tyrants like him find it much easier to survive in a state of war than of peace; so they make war.> It is also more broadly true that leaders with weak support like to engage in war as a way to force people to fall in line as a patriotic duty -- sound like anybody you know?

Someone else can continue rummys efforts to reshape the pentagon, nadine. No person is indespensible. Sometimes a president needs to act in a political way. Sometimes a Defense Secy has to put the country ahead of personal goals or even false pride. Time for him to go. There are other competent folks out there. mike PS I wonder who saddam thought his mentor to be--probably stalin but there is a strain of al capone in him as well. I am not sure that stalin was as personally corrupt as saddam and sons inc.
