Island, Re-reading my post, I don't think that it has a sub-text. What I meant to say was that our policies, (including the current one), are the problem. And will not negate the problem at hand. And incidentally, I wouldn't mind being proven wrong, but it sure hasn't happened yet.
As I think that I stated before, I am no fan of Sadam Hussein, (haven't met or heard from from anyone who is), and of course he is not a positive force for stability in the region, but I think that our current course of action is based on some wrong assumptions. And for that, I blame our leadership.
