Doug, explain "Tomorrow the world."

What they used to tell me, back when I was in the Big Red One, was that to conquer a country (or a world) you need infantry because that's what infantry is for. "The mission of infantry," they said, " is to take and hold land."

Saddam doesn't have enough troops to conquer the world, nor the resources to support those troops, and I understand what troops he has aren't real well-trained. Why are you afraid of him? He can't take the world, and in case you meant that as picturesque exaggeration, there's no way he can even take the United States. Believe it or not. And if you think he can, I bet he doesn't.
