So you think we could still be flying 100 sorties a week over Iraq
bombing them and the world would be fine with it?

Absolutely, although I think it wouldn't have lasted more than another
year or two, for other reasons which you may remember.


There was talk of how much suffering we were causing because food or
medicine couldn't reach innocent civilians, although that criticism was
directed more at the oil trade limitiations. Whether it was true or not, I
think that would've ended our involvement simply for reasons of public
image.
