Now, the UN has passed _17_ resolutions demanding that Iraq disarm. That's diplomacy. Check. Saddam runs a brutal dictatorship where all form of resistance are met with immediate torture and execution. The last mass uprising against him (1991 - prompted by the Bush Administration, actually, much to its shame) was exterminated brutally. So that's 12 years of trying that. Check. Finally, your third choice. And what expertise in Special Ops leads you to believe that this is possible? Watching _Air Force One_ probably isn't enough. Now, I know a fair number of people in the Special Ops community, and I know what their reaction would be if you suggested something like this. So, in the realm of the, you know, possible, what would you do, given that your first two preferences have been exhausted and the third is something that happens in Hollywood, not in reality? Or don't you think we would have tried something like that with Milosevic? Gautam __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
