This is stupid!Ah, chill out. It's not stupid. They don't have the means to overthrow these tyrants on their own. They're saying they will not tolerate staying under the yoke of another oppressor if we lift it from their shoulders.

Agree. Also, Rummy said the other day that we need them to finger the baddies after this is done.

You're exactly wrong. They did not say they will not tolerate blah, blah, blah. They said what they said and that is precisely this: "If they (the coalition) attack and finish Baghdad, everybody will rise up against Saddam. It will be finished for him"
My point is that if we "finish" Baghdad, there shall be no Saddam to rise against. That is why it is stupid.
