A point I made on the previous posting of this article - what Ramsey is recommending is what we did in 1991, and it didn't work. The UN didn't step up to the plate, Iraq slid into chaos, and in retaking control Saddam gassed the Kurds. This policy is the reason we had to do it all over again.

Note: Saddy gassed the Kurds in the 80s when he was our ally and we were still supplying him weapons to fight with the Iranis

Ahhh, but this time, Iraq would be left to fend for themselves. Just think, it would keep all of the muslim countries busy fighting for control of Iraq.

Besides it would just sdrive the demo's nuts. Not a friggin thing they could sau about it. Great strategy that would get the attention of UN, France and Germany.
