"Noam Chomsky pointed out that a country that had been starved for so long as Iraq is hardly in a condition to rise up and rebel"
How then are the people of Iraq ever to rid themselves of Saddam if not with external assistance? We do agree Saddam must go I take it?
Re. Afgahnsitan - at least the people of Afhanistan can hum a tune in public without fear of arrest by the Taliban now. I cited Afghanistan not as a US success story but as an example of the fact that modern history suggests that brutal dictatorships are self perpetuating until such time as they are forced out.
