Re: 50 Million Killed in Soviet Russia
The point: Unfortunately the likely result of the proposed military action against Iraq will be increased hostility towards the US and a greater threat of violence that the government is unable to prevent. We are already being attacked by terrorists in case you haven't noticed IrishHand. I am sure my point was clear that not attacking Iraq was unlikely to lessen that threat and just as unlikely to make it much worse than it already is. You are the one who chose to incorrectly insert Hussein as the bully. I merely suggested you read rather than assume Mr. anonymous attorney.

How NOT To Be an Oddsmaker, by IrishHand
M: "What if the war goes quickly and smoothly and the people of Iraq actually thank us for liberating them from the evil Butcher of Baghdad...maybe the war will actually lead to less anti-American sentiment and less terrorism? Do you think that's even remotely possible, Irish?"
IrishHand: "No." So you'd be happy to lay 10,000-1 odds right?

If the bully attacks
If the bully(Saddam) attacks the US then I would agree to attack him with great force. Saddam, however, is most interested in self preservation and knows that any aggression on his part will be met with a military response that is sure to overwhelm him.

I don't bet unless it involves two cards in my hand and 5 on the table. Why do you think that there is such a strong anti-US sentiment througout the Middle East?
