..all of which goes to prove the wisdom of nipping a would-be Nebuchadnezzar in the bud...Saddam is no Nebuchadnezzar, my dear. He's Noriega, with oil fields.
PS: quality poem, on your FR page.
The would-be Nebuchadnezzar wanted not just his oil fields but other oil fields and WMD. If he hadn't been stopped and if no one stops him now, he could realize his dream.
Saddam with Kuwait's oil fields and Saudi Arabia's oil fields and some nukes would not be Noriega.
