Of course, we should consider what it is that Saddam wants.
So long as we constrain ourselves to reality (ie I want a million bucks,
so?), then to a raw approximation, Saddam Hussein wants containment.
In today's world, where the American people have endorsed a war to disarm
and change the regime of Iraq, being anti-war is being pro-the continued
reign of death and destruction of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.
May Jacques Chirac rest in peace.
