I have mixed feelings about the upcoming adventure in Iraq; on the one hand, I don't trust the current Administration, and fear that this is geared more towards domestic politics than serving any perceived American interest; on the other, this is Hussein we're talking about--there is no scenario I can think of in which the world benefits by letting him live another day. If this isn't going to be another US-led debacle, where we end toppling one dictator, only to have another, slightly more benign one take his place, to the ultimate detriment of American foreign policy, we need to have an exit strategy, as well as a valid conception of what a future post-Saddam Iraq will look like. Which is why this story really scares me....
