Subject: RE: BS: Making Saddam Smile!
Old Guy you say, "Are there any complaints from the people in Northern Iraq? Do they want us to leave?"
There are those who want to be liberated but Iraqi people have gone on record to say that they don't want to be invaded by an "imperial" America and they decry the idea of bombing. This is not to say they are happy with Saddam, however. The inspectors and the UN are addressing the issue. If Bush could control his quest for power as "Commander-in-chief" and allow the process, we could find unanimity with other countries such as France and Germany in stopping Saddam. But as long as the Bush Adminstration continues it's bullying tactics, it destroys any chance for multinational action. To say that the protesters have no constructive counterview to the Bush Administration is not correct. Their view is quite simply "let the inspections work." They have and they can continue to do so.
