I've long thought that we should abandon the trade embargo on
Iraq so the CIA could operate more effectively in the country. I think
Saddam would have been long gone if we had enabled them to work more effectively
there.
George Will had an interesting article several years
ago. He proposed creating a new capitol city under the southern
"no-fly" zone. Saddam would not be able to attack it. The Iraqi
citizens would flock to it because it would thrive in trade. It could
choke off oil money going to the north. It could also serve as a base for
covert ops. Seemed like an interesting idea.

appears all the rhetoric about a war with Iraq has added to the markets
skittishness. However, this may not last long. Saddam may bring it to a head
sooner than we think. Listen to this. I came across it on my news service
today

authorities have ORDERED Baghdad residence to stay put and do not leave the
city. (Saddam needs a human shield) They warned anyone who does so without
permission, will have their property and bank accounts confiscated by the
government.

believe our covert activities there are starting to pay off and Saddam is
