I could only proffer it because it was a viable alternative. Whether it remains viable is arguable.

It seemed less liberal, since I spared the droning on about civilian casualties, sanctity of life, Bush=Hitler stuff or other window dressing that would clearly grant it the liberal post of approval stamp.

Saddam served the useful role of distractor/divider for some time. In 1991 we decided Kuwait's oil added to Saddam's was not a good idea and letting him just roll in would set a bad example.

But let's be really honest: we saved Kuwait for Saudi Arabia's sake. They would be next. Kuwait was Saudi Arabia's buffer. Unfortunately, the Saud family have a bad habit of extorting the US as well, seeking US protection of their regime while simultaneously hanging OPEC output and prices in the other hand.

The question I have is once the Saud family falls, and Iraq,Iran and Arabia are returned to fundamentalist nations - what will they do?

Do they fall into conflict or unite? What the common wisdom is they unite long enough to dispose of Israel and then fall into strife. The wisest of the leaders in this region are awre that Israel and the 'Jews' provide a neccessary distraction to their own regime/practices. One wonders if they truly do want to "push the Jews into the sea" or if they really enjoy the distraction it provides to their less than literate subjects.
