<<What deterred Bush....was concern that Iraq might fall apart>> True but what was of concern to me was images such as: Those pictures coming out of Kuwait, the road leading from Kuwait City. The ones with the bodies strewn along with the booty taken from the city.I can still see them, miles and miles as far as the eye can see.Imagine the horror show. Planes coming from every direction no place to run or hide a virtual down pouring of steel on human bodies, 60,000 lives lost.[ Hey I'm still hearing about the 81 people who died at Waco from people on this thread.] At that time there were protests starting to come out of Bangladesh about our "Moslem brothers". I believe if more of those pictures started pouring from Iraq [ especially of civilians ]Moslems all over the world would be pissed and pissed Moslems are a force to be reckoned with. <<our forces did enter Iraq>> I don't believe that "entering" Iraq would have been the trigger for world protest but lots of causalities that would result may have been.Oh well, just a minority opinion I know. But that's my story and I'm sticking to it. [ for now ] pez
