[QUOTE]Originally posted by WizArtist II: [QB] So what SHOULD the U.S. have done? Sat and mourned the dead of 9/11 and yelled "Shame, shame on you" at Al-Qaeda and bin Laden? What was the socially acceptable response? Economic sanctions? Does anyone REALLY believe those work? Wasn't France & Germany supplying Saddam with tech, equipment, and cash during the LAST attempt to impose sanctions? Someone is always available to be bought. Sanctions only cause discomfort to the little man, not the maniacal brutal dictators that keep them down anyway. Bush the first stopped short of removing Saddam from power because all the geniuses warned that it could inflame the Arab world against the U.S. Bush the second decided to correct that first mistake with an even BIGGER mistake. The real question is where do you go from here? Just pull out and let them fight it out amongst themselves till the next Saddam rises to power? Stick it out and try to make things better at the cost of the lives of our own troops? Turn everything over to the Saudis to handle? What is the best option? How do you bring peace to a region that hasn't known peace since Isaac and Ishmael? [/QB][/QUOTE]
