Let it be known that I have never said I am 100% correct on everything I know about the whole situation. Up to this point I still have not been satisfied with what I have seen and read about the whole mess.
I realize that Sadaam is a menace and a murderer. Where I have the problem is the way we responded to this menace.
You say that looking back and letting Sadaam stay in power was a mistake. I agree with that. You say what happend to the Kurds was a flat out shame. I also strongly agree with that. You say it was a snafu. So do I.
As a police officer I do understand what you mention. However I have to believe it is the right thing to do before I march off and do it.
It seems to me we built Sadaam up to be the menace to the universe and then left him in power after we had him defeated. Alot of uannswered questions make this trip to the Gulf questionable.
Also, I say let the evidence we have be put out where it can be seen. Tell me the truth so I can believe in the mission. "Yeah, he's probably behind it" is not good enough for me, especially when things have been so confusing up to this point. For me anyway.
