What you are expressing, Kevin, is an opinion. Nothing wrong with that. Were Nicole to have expressed herself in the same way, this thread would have had one less posting to it. On the other hand, she may have a credible source to back up both of her statements. If so, it would be interesting to know what that source is.

You may be right that the Iraqi people will rally around Saddam because of his strong stand against the U. S., but on the other hand they may not rally because they might veiw their leader as being responsible for getting the Iraqi population blown to smithereens.

My point is, I doubt we know for certain what their reaction to Saddam is.
