In discussing what the U.S. should do, perhaps in conjunction
with a number of European nations, I suggest that if it's not
too bloody, then invading Iraq might make everyone happy.
1. The Iraqis (except the top henchmen) will be happy
because they get to get rid of their ruthless tyrannical
leader, and get on the path of Western enlightenment
(i.e., profits and progress).
2. The Europeans will be happy, e.g. the French can
return to their potentially profitable investments
in Iraq, and the Germans don't have to worry any
more about what to say about the proposed invasion.
3. The Americans will be happy, because once again they
get to write a new Constitution for somebody else's
nation, like they did with Japan, a nation that now
seems quite happy with how everything turned out.
4. The far left will be happy, because they'll have
something to rail against for at least a decade,
inveighing caustically against the latest outrageous
example of American imperialism.
So as I am starting to see it, it looks like a good thing
all around.
