    Saddam is probably really pissed off.. that is good.. in the Art of War by Sun Tzu it says when the enemy leader is angry he will make rash decisions. That was a damn good move.
    For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay. This is the violence that afflicts the poor, that poisons relations between men because their skin has different colors. - Bobby Kennedy (Mindless Menance of Violence)

      When it comes to a bastard like Saddam there are no rules on how to deal with him.
      And the next guy who gets his corpse dragged thru the street might happen to be the guy the US supports. But, hey, we let it ride the first time, right?

      If he doesnt want to be taken alive, then smoke him, otherwise set the right example for a future client sta..err democracy.

            Check Somalia. Been done.

              I definitely think that one of the reasons to publish those photos was to piss off Saddam.

                Fez, If you ever became the leader of a country, I would be running for the nearest border in sheer, abject terror.

                It's far better for a burgeoning democracy to try its leaders in a court than resort to vigilantism.

                  I would make a wonderful leader. People have total freedom to rule their own lives. As long as it's in total service to me.

                    Jac, we may hold out hope of a legal system that resembles ours, but we can't mandate it.
                    That's U.S. interference.
                    Can't have that.

                      Well then, maybe we should just let the people of Iraq give a trial like that of the late Romanian Dictator. I don't have a problem with that. You know he will be executed either way.

                        Technically, doesn't invasion count as 'interferance'?

                            I seem to agree with about half the things he does.

                            Not the worst leader, but not the best either...

                              What do you think of Winston Churchill?

                                Well, once again, when Hussein the candyass broke the cease-fire agreement, it was no longer interferance.

                                You can listen to the commie-wannabes if you want.
                                WOMD was not the key issue.
