So, how would you stop the War?[/center]

Often asked with the addition of 'as*hole', with the expectation that you don't have an answer. Usually they are not really interested if you did. Where do you go to get the answer to any question? What keeps repeating itself. HISTORY. So what lesson are there from history.

Well, it couldn't be simpler. We only have to go back to Gulf War One. Only a blip in historical terms. After the very successful Allied over running of Iraqi forces, it all came to a halt. The expected thing after the success was for the Allies to continue to Baghdad. Now, if it was the TV images of the burnt corpses on that killing road that caused the halt, we may never know. I do remember the very reasoned discussions about who could replace Saddam. Then and now, I believe that George Senior got it right.

Now all would have been well with the world, but what happens. George junior replaces dad as US president and unfortunately he ain't no chip off the old block. He has a big chip, but it's on his shoulder. In fact, his chip is so big that he has a peculiar strut. It looks faintly military, but he never was in the forces. He flew off in a US plane to some bar in the South for the war. He does talk a good war. He fancies himself as a war leader, a big-time commander. He speaks like a faulty machine gun. You never know when he's going to splutter to a stop .

Now whether it just to beat his dad or Juniors notion to put a perceived 'wrong' to right, neither have any meaning in the lives lost daily. So no matter how this pans out, George Sr has proved beyond doubt that Sr was right and Jr never will get it right. That probably causes Jr more loss of sleep than the blood of his young men. What would they say to George if they could get within an asses roar of him. Certainly they will not be seeing him at their funerals. Junior doesn't do funerals.

So taking George Sr as our lead, what is the solution to the Iraqi problem? The solution in the past always has been a 'strong man' and native. Only one candidate, right. You've got it in one. Ask Saddam if he would help out as a puppet leader in return for not stretching his neck. This would fit in more with the old style US solution to it's banana republics. Let's forget all this democracy guff and get back to real US style democracy - hire the biggest crook in town. I would guarantee peace in a week. Set a crook to catch a crook.

Will it happen? No chance. Yet I would love to here the administration answer against the simple logic of George Sr. Of course, Senior would have to back it. Imagine, "now junior, this is how it is. I'm going to save your hide. Bend over. You need a good lashing. Daddy knows best and never forget it. And send that Rummy up to me next. He needs a good scre*ing. Barbara, grab a stick."

Think of the advantages for George Jr. First he gets back on Daddy's Christmas list. Then he gets off the 'badboy' list. That's the same list as Hitler and Stalin. Stalin got off it when he let his generals fight. It's the 'Worst Military Leaders in History' list. Nowadays it's called the 'Slam Dunk' or the 'Bring it on' list.
