It doesn't matter, as far as the U.N. is concerned. France, Germany, Russia and the multitude of craven-pig countries that make up the U.N. will accept "inspections" with any conditions -- because they want Sadaam (or anyone) to prevail over the Republican U.S. President, who doesn't share their depraved ideas about government.

They'll take anything and get the inspectors in fast, hoping they may help play the role of human-shield against the U.S., or at least tip off Sadaam as to when we are coming.

People like Kofi Annan and countries like France and Germany are NOT our allies. They are much closer to being enemies than allies.

U.S. and U.K. soldiers are going in to kill Iraqi soldiers so our soldiers can come home safe. One can never forget that Iraqi soldiers have lives they would rather continue to lead, wives to go home to, and children to raise..they would rather not lose their lives on the battlefield, however, this is what will happen, when we invade Iraq. /rant

All despot dictators require two things to stay in power. The must have a police force that will arrest and imprison anyone the dictator says to arrest and imprison. They must have a military that will shoot and kill anyone or nation the dictator says to shoot and kill.

The members of any Dictators Police and of his ARMY can overthrow their Dictator any day they choose to do so. For when the dictator says kill and the army does not kill and the dictator says arrest and the cops don't arrest, he is no longer the dictator. He has no power without a police force and an army.

So it is Saddams Army that lets him be a dictator. We should kill his army and all connected with it. We should kill his police all connected with it. If we did it ruthlessly enough, other armies and police forces around the world would be sore afraid to serve a dictator for a very long time. Armies and police enjoy the power a dictator allows them to have. But if it was certain to cost their deaths they would not do it.

You try to convince the readers that Saddams police and Miltiary are innocent of his crime. They are the only reason he can commit the crimes. They are at least as guilty as he is and should pay the full measure of the cost.

Saddam's organ-grinder monkey Tariq Aziz comes dancing onstage:

"I know you think you know what we said, but you should know that what you heard was not what we meant."

Just as he is ready to explain all the ways that is doesn't mean is, a thermobaric bunker-buster gives him that burning sensation.

The games afoot.

Saddam can run down the tunnel to Russia or die from an O.D. of B-2--

His choice.

Let's roll.

I was wondering when that point would be brought up. However, I cannot help but think of the USSR when they used prisoners from the Gulag as cannon fodder to stem the German invasion. In a dictatorship, it is very possible for the common solder to fear for his family if he does not do what he is told.

That said, your point is very well taken, and I did think of that when I originally posted.

I say we drop a load of white flags first on their barracks ... see how quickly we can get them to surrender by attaching notes saying the next batch will be attached to daisy cutter bombs.

After all, we'll need a trained police force once we remove saddam. who bettter than saddam's trained conscripts.
