Maybe I'm wrong, but I recall our limiting our bombing to points
containing
radar & antiaircraft weaponry, not missions into their cities. Never
mind.
The point was that our goal at that stage was, as you said, the
no-fly
zone,
or containment.


We always have some bull**** goal when we bomb brown people, that
doesn't mean it is right
If you read what Europe was saying about us at the time you will see
out intent didn't really match where the bombs were falling.
We seem to have forgotten the French, Italians and Germans had
already
left the reservation on Iraq long before GW showed up.
Al Jazerra was showing pictures of dead civilians to the Muslim
world.

OK, but we're getting far afield here. Saddam could've been contained
forever, with little or no cost to us.

like iran!

Besides Iran's obnoxious behavior, what do you hear about the country
lately, John?


Nothing! They seem to be just sitting there peacefully doing their
thing,
tending their flocks and whatnot.

Well, I guess there's a little concern about nuclear weapons, but I'm
sure
that's just misinformation.

I wonder what the fishing and boating are like in the Persian Gulf?
John

So, all you've got is sarcasm? You know nothing else about Iran except the
nuclear threat, which, by the way, I agree with you about?


Oh no. But just think, if we'd left Iraq alone, we could have *two* Irans!

Now *that* would be exciting!

No more until September!

You've gone into your bi-weekly simpleton mode.
