Krijack, you use the term we to imply that the US had imposed the sanctions. You know that is not the case. Gulf War I was a war sanctioned by the UN. They called the shots on that one and the sanctions in question were placed by them.

I also believe that a precipitous withdrawl from Iraq is not in the US' best interest. However, that does not mean that I ever supported our going in the first place. I will always remember the duplicity and wrong headed logic that got so many people killed.
