>>Where would we be today if we didn't invade
Iraq?
By now, Saddam's corruption and bribery campaign would
probably have led to the relaxation of sanctions against his
regime. The expensive US/UK overflights of Iraq might still
be going on, and the Kurds might still have some measure of
protection. Hard to say about that.
However, Saddam would still be sitting on his oil wealth,
waiting for his PR campaign to compel the end of sanctions.
At the end of sanctions, he could restart his WMD
facilities, with Uday and/or Qusay in the wings, ready to
take over control of the oil-rich nation.
Several US presidents from now, the West would have to deal
with filthy-rich psychotic Iraqi President Uday, and his
arsenal of anthrax, ebola, ricin, aflatoxin, vx-nerve gas,
and nuclear weapons.
