we'll leave tomorrow and put saddam back in power.... If it makes the conditions of life for the ordinary citizens of Iraq better. Yeah, sure lets go for it. I mean Saddam is in a position where he knows when he pisses off the West, like really, we may invade! His sons have been bumped off, and maybe that wasn't such a bad idea, and can serve as a pointer to Saddam what happens when the USA and the coalition forces feel threatened. George Galloway can be sent over to meet the terrorists and negotiate a smooth transition of power to whatever they want. The British right wing conservative industrialists (and Conservative Government at the time) maybe will now agree it's not a good idea to send and more "supergun" components to Iraq.. fas.org and maybe the right wingnuts in the USA might agree it's not a good idea to put murderous thugs in power in the first place... Well we can only live in hope. mises.org 1958--Iraq In opposition to the British-client Iraqi regime, and in opposition also to Nasser's growing influence in Iraq, the bloodthirsty Colonel Kassem spearheads the American-supported military coup to overthrow the Iraqi royal family. The king and crown prince and most of the royal family are executed, and the prime minister is murdered by a mob. Years later, after Kassem has alienated all his allies except the Soviet Union and is overthrown and executed in 1963, United States support swings to a small group called the Ba'th Socialist Party. After many twists and turns, coups and elections, coups and revolutions, Saddam Hussein emerges as president of Iraq in 1976 after leading the coup that, with American insistence, installed that regime in 1968. Yep. Live in hope. Oh well..
