More than 51 million Americans voted *against* George Bush in 2000; more than 59 million voted against him in 2004. Yet those same 51 million and 59 million would have been led by those that would never have committed to liberating Afghanistan because "no nation has ever conquered the Afghans and we would fall into the same trap that the Russians fell into". "It would be another Vietnam for America". And Saddam would still be in power with more oil revenues than ever before, most likely without sanctions because the ones he had were being undermined by all those powers that wanted Saddam's oil. He would be in a paranoid state with his neighbor developing nukes and feel justified in restarting his own WMD programs again and he would be doing exactly what all those Arab leaders do to their own people.He would have been raping , killing and impoverishing them as he had been doing. Those same leaders, American, would have been happy to maintain the status quo for "peace" sake and maintain cheap oil supplies and take the risks of leaving leaders like Saddam in power. __._,_.___ To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
