Allan: you certainly will find those who think Bush 2 is proposing replacing Saddam because Bush 1 did not do it at the close of Desert Storm. Reasonable people will agree, I believe, that Bush 1's mandate from the U. N. did not include toppling Saddam, and that was the majority thinking of that day. Even Al Gore, who in a speech recently alluded to the fact that we are facing what we are today, because Bush 1 did not finish the job in 1991. He did not mention in that same speech that he supported, as a U. S. Senator, stopping Desert Storm when Iraq's forces were forced out of Kuwait.
