Subject: RE: BS: Subtle HeadsUp to Saudi Arabia?
I agree Hussein had to go. That remark will be met by much disapproval here.
I wouldn't think so, brucie - depending what it means. Apartheid had to go, and General Pinochet had to go, and lots of other nasty regimes. And they went. And I don't think there are many Saddam lovers around the Mudcat - or for that matter among the Iraqis engaged in fighting against the occupation, from what I've read.
If it was a way of saying that this invasion, especially carried out at the time it was and in the way it was, was a good thing, yes, you would get some disagreement on that. But from your other remarks, I don't think you quite mean that.
