slowly and carefully. One reason not to try to overthrow him was that the alternative was clearly, obviously worse. Saddam was isolated enough before. EVERYBODY knows he and his sons, etc. were butchers; he gassed his own people, for heaven's sake. However, is government was secular and now the Islamic extremists are jockeying for power; they want the constituation to be based on the Koran....remember the Taliban? Is that who you want in charge of Iraq? Democracy, my foot. Women already have far fewer rights than they did under Saddam! Can you imagine how they will treat Iraqi Christians? Oh, and if you think the violence in this country is worse than the war zone in Iraq, perhaps you should join the army. You and the chimp twins.
