But they dislike the US for the sanctions imposed on Iraq. He understands why we're doing it, but the citizens of the country are the ones who are really hurting from it. Do you think Hussein is affected by the sanctions? No way. He's sitting pretty in a plush palace smoking expensive cigars. The US sanctions are really hurting the people, making it harder for them to resist their "leader".
So should we attack Iraq? I say yes...but not an all-out war. That would be ridiculous. There is no need for it. We are superior in all aspects of warfare. It would be total overkill. I think we should send in a covert squad, kill Hussein as he sleeps and walk away. Don't think we couldn't do it because we all know we could. Christ, the F-117A flew for 10 years before the public even thought about stealth technology. We've got weapons we don't even know we have...
Other than that I agree with Zoner91...we don't know ----.

Don't blame the U.S. sanctions for hurting the people, blame Saddam, he's the one hoarding the sh!t that gets through. If he truly cared about his people, they would not suffer because of sanctions.
