America's imperial intentions
http://www.NewsAndOpinion.c om | Removing Saddam Hussein from power would eliminate the direct and growing threat he poses to the United States. That alone is justification for war against Iraq. Our security is at stake. Yet we wouldn't be the only ones to benefit from Saddam Hussein's demise. So would the Iraqi people.
President Bush made that point last week in a speech in which he contemplated life in Iraq after Saddam Hussein. Iraqis, he said, now "live in scarcity and fear, under a dictator who has brought them nothing but war, misery and torture." Not to mention death: Hundreds of thousands have been killed since Saddam Hussein took office in 1978.
As soon as Saddam Hussein is gone, the Iraqis will have relief on a scale we Americans can't imagine. And, as Mr. Bush recognized, they also will have immediate needs. He promised food, medicine and other emergency aid. And he emphasized that weapons of mass destruction would be located and destroyed and that natural resources would be protected "from sabotage" and used "for the benefit of the owners - the Iraqi people."
