We might as well... We are training 20,000 Sunnis to take on the Shiittes..... Sunnis you may remember were the sworn enemy. Saddam was a Sunni... now who do you think they will be killing once we arm them?
If the Bush administration wasn't so pathetic we would all be laughing.

Dictators or kings are a horrible way to be governed. Britain did it, apparently in the colonial empire mode of doing things. It just doesn't seem right to me to replace one dictator with another.

Sayyy -that's a good idea! We could send Dick Cheney over there (he'll be out of a job soon here- anyway), and call him King Richard I -of Iraq !!! It'd be right up his "alley"-& the "locals" would be DELIGHTED to make his acquaintance! I can just HEAR the "celebratory" gunfire- already! :) :) :)

And that would be better than Saddam Hussein... How? Or would you be happier if he had never been deposed and executed?
