Better theory
The Iraqis acted like any country that sees themselves as great, but is conquered and humbled. If we lost a war, we would have a hard time complying with inspections and rules limiting what we can & can't do. And those teams who came to inspect our compliance would not be welcomed with open arms.
If we had UN resolutions threating your liberty, you would be the first to strap on a vest bomb, Tom [and I mean that as a compliment].
And before you all make that silly knee-jerk argument about how much I love Saddam, and how bad I am to draw any parallels between them and us, etc. etc. let me just say...
...remember what we were talking about. Remember what question I answered. Try to stay on track.
