That would work really well, right up to the point where he rounds them up and executes them all.
To the other ones who disagree with the attack on Iraq because it would set a bad precedent. I have this to say.
Panama - We attacked and split in half a sovereign nation because we wanted a canal.
Niguragua - We attacked because we wanted to oust Noriega. So the precedent has been set. We not only can go in, but have. In this case Saddam and Iraq poses the greatest threat ever, much greater than the threat posed by either of the two examples above.

That's right they can't reach us. Who they can reach is his neighbors and Israel. What happens if he chooses to attack Kuwait again, or Saudi Arabia. His massive army could defeat those countries easily. This time however when we go to counterattack he sets off several nuclear weapons and destroys and kills thousands of American Soldiers. That's the threat. Not that he will attack us, but that he will use it as a shield against us.

This was caused by the eviromentalist who haven't allowed a new power plant or refinery to be built in twenty years. That's who you can blame for the energy crisis. Your lucky it isn't worse.
