[QUOTE="jaybadger82, post: 448784, member: 6211"] Who gives a sh*t about Saddam's motives? Regardless of his self-interest or the cruelties he visited upon his people, the fact is that the guy maintained order within his borders (no Al Queda activity in Iraq prior to US invasion) and he offered a traditional military foil for Iran (where now there is none and Iran is free to develop a nuclear program while meddling in the political affairs of other Middle Eastern countries). As far as I'm concerned, removing Saddam from power was utterly moronic in terms of our geo-political interests. The ex-pat Iraqis that I've spoken with (who lived in Iraq during the eighties and early nineties) are also rather bewildered by the decision to oust him. (None of this has anything to do with Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers. I just saw an opportunity to pontificate on a subject of interest.) This entire thread has swerved off the rails. I don't think anyone's ready to change their position on the whole retiring #4 issue at this point... Maybe it's time everyone walk away. [/QUOTE]
