Not that scary.

Hard to say. I'm leaning your way, but I'd say there's uncertainty. On the bad side--the man is an evil, conscienceless animal who would be cornered and have nothing to lose. On the the good--Iraq is a relatively secular state for an Arabic/Islami country. Most of the people who aren't plugged into the military/government power structure would probably dance in the streets if Saddam, his sons, and the inner cricle fell. Many of the Republican Guards would probably pretend they weren't.

But, this would only happen once the issue was decided and Saddam's power broken. There would be a dangerous period of time when he would be obeyed, and his more fanatical followers could do a lot of WMD damage.

Here we go again. For years, Clinton allowed the Iraquis to defy the UN weapons inspectors and continue to develop their WMD capabilities. Now we know that they not only have them, but they are at the control of Saddam's son, who may be the sickest, most twisted unit to ever walk this earth. I am so sick of having to clean up after this guy. Clinton will burn in hell for what he has not only done, but failed to do. He is by far, the single worst President in our history. It's the economy stupid? We are witnessing first hand the results of his wonderful economy. If a man will make a promise to his wife and to God (wedding vows?) and crap all over it for the world to see, why would he have any loyalty to you or me? He won't! Why does integrity matter? Because someone with integrity will do what is right at all times, on all fronts. Whether it is selling military secrets to China or cheating on your wife. I pray for your soul Bill, but, please, for all of humanity, go away and allow a real leader to clean up your mess. And oh, by the way Mr. Gore, you already sold your soul by standing behind Clinton's treachery, so go away. It is not GW's fault that all that you worked for and all that you stood for went down the drain as you stood idley by and let this man run amuck. Go and crawl into whatever hole spineless jelly fish live in and live the rest of your life with the torture of knowing that you are no less to blame than Clinton...
