Make Your Judgements.. This is the current state of affairs.

1.) Saddam Hussein's political goals:

He was born in Tikrit, Iraq. He joined the Baarth Party, as a "physical punisher", when he left school. His duty was to threaten political enemies and to recruit new members. He was never seen as a philosophical politician. Saddam can not be defined as left- or right wing, he is following only his own political agenda. Hussein only cares about his position in history and the domination of his country in the region. His "Tikrit Clan"rules the whole country. He implemented 5 different secret services, which control the whole nation. All major political positions are occupied with his relatives, sons, sons in law and cousins.

Fellatio.

The Iraqi people hate him. He threatens the minorities in his country and political opposition is mostly dead, before it even started.

The people of other Arabic countries love him. He is the one who doesn't bow before the USA. He gives them self-esteem and feeds their hunger for "justice".

Justice, because the US supports "America-friendly-regimes" in that region. String puppets of the US that keep their population like slaves. Hyper rich families who rule the countries with iron fists and keep the people poor and uneducated. Look at Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and other Emirates.

Those people would love the US. If they had been freed, but the US Government only cares about the political and financial support from the governments and send thousands of soldiers to protect them. The Al Saud family in Saudi Arabia would not live anymore, if the US-Army would not show presence there.

2.) George W. Bush's political goals:

First of all, it is a "father-son conflict". I don't think it is about Saddam insulting his father in the first golf war. His father did not march into Bagdad, because he realised, that Saddam is the only one, who is able to rule that nation. If he had been removed, the region would fall into pieces. His son, George W. thinks, that he can solve this problem. It would make him greater than his father. Then there is the control over oil. Some say it would be cheaper to buy the oil. This may be true, but to buy oil, you need somebody who sells it to you. The US needs to control the oil production on this planet. They control Saudi Arabia, and by controlling Iraq, the US would be able to have the next string puppet, the OPEC, any by that, America would rule the oil prices for decades. Next point is the public revenge. The US was not able to catch Bin Laden. The attacks on America in the last years, are a new dimension of terror and war. For Centuries, there was no war inside the US. The US population was praising their armed heroes because they never experienced, what WAR really means. They only saw it on TV. Now, they get a glimpse of what happens, when one gets attacked. Bush needs revenge. Bin Laden kicked Uncle Sam's ass and he can not be caught, so Bush needs a substitute terrorist to rip him in pieces. Everybody knows, that Saddam is not connected to Bin Laden in any way. They are like fire and water and Saddam is exactly that kind of guy, Bin Laden is fighting against, but the US needed some good points to go to war against him. Saddam remained quiet for the last 12 years, so the propaganda started about one year ago. The US Government puzzled a story, aimed for the day, when the war will begin. What he did not expect, was the resistance of some allies, like Germany and France. Bush wanted to use the UN to make his attack legal, but he failed. Nevertheless he attacked Iraq, and by definition, this is a crime. It is not a surprise, that Bush does not give a rat's ass about that.

3.) The assumed result of this war.

Saddam Hussein will die in this war. The US will leave alot of soldiers in the "country" to preserve peace. An America-friendly regime will be installed. Muslim groups will use the American presence there to commit terroristic attacks. Al Quaida and other groups already sent about 2500 "civilians"to Iraq, who will use car-bombs and other things against the US troops there. The Curds in the north will try to get an independent nation. Turkey will invade the north and try to keep them down. This will bring up a serious internal NATO conflict. The population will experience many many restrictions because of the situation. This will destroy their dream of being saved from Saddam and will rise up the hate against the US. The extreme Muslim groups will get thousands of new followers and the conflict will become bigger and bigger. The rest will be shown by future.

This is the way things are. Not my opinion.

ARE.
