Subject: RE: BS: Bushwah and Bush War: Part 3
Fionn, Saddam agreed to the inspections to stop the war. He signed an agreement on behalf of his country.
Of course he doesn't like it and of course he wants to avoid it. I am sure that if the conditions you outlined were applied in the US for the same reasons as are the conditions in Iraq, that, no, I wouldn't like it.
No one ever said that Saddam had to like the inspections. He simply has to comply with them. He has shown that he cares very little for anything save his own power and that he is willing to sacrifice his own people to maintain and increase that power.
Quite frankly, I don't care what Saddam thinks. He has proved to be a danger to the region and our allies there in the past and there is absolutely no proof that he has changed his ways.
I am, however, quite willing to wait and see what proofs (if any) the President offers on 9/11 before either endorsing or condemning the decision to "take Saddam out."
That's more than most on this forum seem willing to do.
