Skewed tangents in the brain, Byte. I'm sure you know all about that. It just depends on which tangent I'm sitting on at the time as to the percentage of joke/kill them I'm on...

To me, doing ANYTHING over there is a no-win scenario. There's a big percent of the tangents in my head that know the only way to make a people not want to fight is to kill off certain responses within the people...

Either wait 500 years for them to catch up and watch the destruction, possibly of EVERY LIVING THING ON EARTH, or catch them up... pre-emptively...prime directive BE DAMNED.

It's too bad that the Iraqi politicians, Mullahs, and tribal leaders were so intent on holding onto their little pieces of power that they couldn't take the opportunity they had to get together and form a government that could deal with the sectarian violence. Unfortunately, they have levels of distrust, lack of compromise, and backbiting that make the U.S. Congress look like a love-in.

All very true Geeze.

And all known well in advance of our going in there, seeing as how we put ole Saddy in place over them to begin with.

But we all remember what Darth Cheney had to say about it..."We will be greeted as liberators!"

Yeah, thanks Dick.

James Woolsey, LLB, MA, former Director of the CIA, on Apr. 2, 2003:
"Yes, it’s true. We did. We certainly didn’t put in Saddam, the Ba’athists did that on their own.
But we did back him in some limited ways in the 1980s in the war against Iran. He represented
himself to be, and the Reagan administration at the time felt that he was, essentially,
the lesser of two evils. ..."

Hello,

I think you are correct in that we did not put Saddam in power.

We alternatively supported him and bombed him, but he was put in place by others.
