Samer Saado, an employee at a Damascus flower shop, said he didn't

about Saddam but felt overwhelming sadness for Iraq and the entire

"What the Americans are doing in Iraq and everywhere else is
humiliating.
There's nothing to say we're not next in line," he said.

In fact, there's everything to say that they *are* next in
line...especially
when Saddam spills the beans about the WMD's he shipped there.
1. I doubt Saddam will spill any beans in WMD that will be helpful.
He'll do anything he can to save his skin.
Saddam is going to be executed. Period.
2. If we invade yet another underdeveloped Moslem country for our own
political purposes,
It wasn't political.
Of course it was. The incompetent idiot you admire so much, aka The
Smirking Chimp, was dying in the polls. The invasion of Iraq helped him
for a while.
the rest of the world will turn against us
They already had turned against us. Even before 9/11, did you see the
type
of anti-US bull**** coming out of the UN? Countries like Lybia and Cuba
were sitting on Human Rights committees and criticizing the US for human
rights violations.
Libya and Cuba are not the rest of the world.
You missed the point. The sentiment in the UN was so strongly anti-American,
that two of the World's worst countries on human rights were allowed to sit
on a Human Rights committee that criticized the United Sates.
Puh-leeze. We've been the World's punching bag ever
since the fall of the SOviet Union.
and there
will be a huge price to pay.
With whom?
With the Moslems, of course.
Only the fundamentalist Muslims...and my answer, then, is: "So what." If
you're trying to argue that our presence in the Middle East will give rise
to future terrorists, then you're mistaken. It will not turn a peace-loving
Muslim into a cold-hearted killer. It will only expose the so-called
"moderates" as the "sleeper cells" that they really are.
Bush shot his wad in Iraq. He isn't about to go into Syria or, in fact,
any nation that presents a real threat to the United States. Like, say,
North Korea.
He'll go into Syria immediately after winning the election...unless, of
course, Saddam can point to the exact location of the WMD's before then.
Bush isn't going anywhere.
If the WMD's are in Syria, we're going there. Perhaps sooner than next
November if our intel is 100%. However, he will more likely wait until
after the election.
The terrorist bombings restarted in Iraq
right after it was announced that Saddam had been captured. What's Bush
going to do? Walk away from Iraq and into Syria? Puh-lease.
He won't walk away from Iraq. He'll walk away from trying to police the
cities...and he'll walk away from the manhunt for Saddam. However, our
troops will withdraw from the cities, set up bases along the borders of
Iran, Saudi Arabia, and especially Syria, and be poised to strike Syria on a
moments notice. It's no coincidence that Bush announced economic sanctions
on Syria the same weekend in which Saddam is captured. Damascus should
expect much harsher words and actions in the very near future.
