Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[jbennett53]

Incredibly excellent post Zeev! I am not in favor of an attack against Saddam but it is possible that we should. You bring up and elucidate points in a way that I am not capable of doing. The thought that I have always had is that when one takes an action very often the consequences, immediate or years later, are far worse than the problem one was trying to correct in the first place. Why is Saddam such a malevolent and angry leader? Why is Saddam in power? Why did he attack Iran? Why didn't the Iranians win the war? Why did Saddam attack Kuwait? I think the answers to my above questions can all be found with research into meddling by Britain and the US in the affairs of Iraq and Iran over the last 60 years. The answers may be open to question and not be totally black and white but the root is there that made the weed grow.
