<html><div style='background-color:'><P>The war was a HUGE mistake and there is no way we can go back. Who was right and wrong is not an issue now. What is our exit strategy? What we have on the drawing boards is not working and wont work - come June!</P>

<P>International assistance is required. Let us put our "Pride" aside and involve a wider International Community and we should be ready to share responsibilities and risks. The current "coalition" is no good! </P>
<P>Pretending the 'coalition' is working will get more people killed i.e. more Iraqis and the "coalition" soldiers!</P>

Date: Mon, 5 Apr 2004 13:28:03 -0700 Melynda reminds us: &gt;Terrible things are happening all over the world. The U.S is doing almost &gt;nothing about nearly all of them. So what made Iraq the absolute top &gt;priority? Was military action the only option? And whatever our reason, &gt;was it worth so many lives--Iraqi and U.S.? And that reminds me, this past Saturday was the 10th anniversary of the beginning of the Rwandan genocide, when 800,000 Tutsi men, women, and children were hacked to death with machetes by the Hutu majority. Plans for the genocide were announced on the radio in advance, and Hutu Christian churches were recruited to assist in the effort. Meanwhi!
 le, the United States, Europe, and the rest of the world stood by twiddling their collective thumbs. It's not a question of whether or not Saddam Hussein was a bad man who needed to be removed from power; he was, and he did. However, it might have been a good idea A) not to have put him power in the first place, B) not to have supplied him with the chemical and biological weapons he so famously used on the Iranians and the Kurds, and C) to have learned the lessons of our own sad history in creating and/or propping up mad dictators just because they temporarily suit our purpose. Manuel Noriega. Papa Doc Baby Doc. General Pinochet. Ferdinand Marcos. Battista. The Shah. The House of Saud. I'd try to list them all, but I'm afraid of getting carpal tunnel.
