If they could have captured Hussein(common knowledge that he was wihin our sights the whole time), and established a provisional government then, not only would we not have the current war, but they would have had 10 long years to establish
democratic rule.
I think they left Hussein there as a foil for Iran, but just wanted to soften him up a bit with sanctions and such.....they know he was
still getting arms per money from the sanctions.
He has always been used for whatever fit american foreign policy
best at them time, to the ultimate pain and sacrifice of the Iraqi people........

It's quite unreal when you think of it. Read Woodward's new
"State of Denial" to find out prenty more.

I just found out that, in 1990, right after Iran invated Kuwait, Iraq's
foreign minister(the guy that looks like Peter Sellers), Tariq Aziz,
was willing to negotiate a Iraq withdrawal right after the invasion.
When current Sec of State(the same guy that raun the election recount for W in 2000) went to Geneva to meet with Aziz, the instructions from Bush the elder was ,"no negotations"!
Less than half the American public at the time favored military
action.
The Senate voted for military action by only a few votes.

You may find it hard to read the above link., it's so intense. I warn
you that it will make you very angry by the time you finish.

We are really in this Vietnam 2 because old man Bush refused
to let Hussain come to terms. They were at the table ready to negotiate. The presidential election was coming up in a year,
so Bush moved in quick without a war declaration from Congress.
Iraq has been vital to both Bushes......

Come on liberals, you can spin this a bad way, I have faith in you.

About 15,000 hurricane evacuee families threatened with potential homelessness in Houston will continue to receive federal housing assistance through February, officials said Thursday.

(My bigger question is why are these people still needing assistance, they have had more than enough time to stand up, get a job and move on with life. I say give them til February, then send them to tent camps in death valley.)

The descendant of a New Zealand Maori warrior chief is campaigning for his people to claim British pensions.
David Rankin is a direct descendent of Hone Heke who played a key part in the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi between indigenous leaders and the British.

He said he would make the claim under Article Three of the treaty, which guarantees Maori "the same rights and privileges as British subjects".

Mr Rankin, head of the Matarahurahu subtribe, is considering other claims.

"We may expand the claim to include British passports, unemployment benefits, and other entitlements," he said.

- Your views Britain??

The Iraqis never understood the meaning of 'democracy' from the west's perception. Most of us knew that. Too bad Bush didn't...

Thu Oct 12, 2006 12:37pm ETWASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has quietly retreated from its high-profile push for democracy in the Muslim world.
The Hamas election stunned the Bush administration by bringing a violent militant group to power.
U.S. policy-makers saw the Hamas victory in the Palestinian territories as part of a potentially dangerous trend following democratic gains for the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The experience in Iraq, which U.S. officials once envisioned as the catalyst for democratic change in Arab countries, has emerged instead as a disturbing symbol of sectarian strife. Frankly, the administration has retreated even from a passive push for democracy. Washington is now largely silent about actions taken by Middle East regimes to suppress political opposition.
