Personally, I'm still lingering on the idea of having Saddam being overthrown so soon. Not that he isn't a man who has commited many terrible things both to the world and in his country; But I don't see any catalyst for the sudden disposing of Saddam. Up until September 11th, America seemed like a calm country. Some Americans seemed not to like George W. Bush and saw him as incompetent as a President. At this time, most of America (Dealing mainly with American Media) cared almost nothing about the wars or occurances happening in other countries, including their allied countries. Then suddenly September 11th occurs, and the American Government decides to overthrow a government (The Taliban) and search for one man (Osama Bin Laden). Now that the Afghanistan Overthrowing is mostly done, except for fixing Afghanistan again, the American Government (Or atleast George W. Bush) wants to attack the evil presence known as Saddam.
Does this not hint that George W. Bush is trying too hard to be a 'great' president? GWB's Administration has toppled a Countries Government, a Terrorist Faction and now wishes to topple another Countries Government right after the last country they overthrew.
Sure Saddam should be overthrown, afterall think of the things which he has planned. But I'd have to agree with Pluveto as well.
I'd also like to bring up the idea that what occurs when you corner someone or something? Do they immediatly surrender? Not always. Sometimes in a last desperate attempt, they will try to attack their opponent or gain help. Sometimes they succeed, sometimes they do not. And Saddam does have powerful weapons that could virtually cripple the war support on attacking Iraq. Afterall, if one of Americas Powerful allies gets attacked, what will their opinions be? Will the people of the country see this war as useless and that it was a mistake, or that they should continue destroying saddam, though there may be potential attacks in the future.
Though I agree saddam needs to be overthrown, what will make the support in other countries right now higher for this war on Saddam? What catalyst will cause the world to suddenly want to attack Saddam?
Those are my 2 cents for now.
