Alas, of necessity. The government of Iraq and its co-conspirators have made a calculated decision that getting their fellow citizens killed is their best war strategy. Hopefully we'll soon be in Baghdad and this will be the last major suffering the Iraqi people endure for having Saddam as the head of their country.
This article wonders if Saddam is still alive. I'm not so sure. But the mystique is there and the damnable first allied effort has assured that no one wants to take a chance that he isn't. So our efforts are going to be made a little harder by people who might be with us but are afraid to act other than as though he were still as powerful as ever, lest they meet the same fate suffered by the last group of people who counted on our help eliminating this tyrant.
