I can't disagree with you on the Kurds. What we did to them is unforgivable. But, it begs the question - if we'd acted militarily then, would that have been acceptable?
I think the Kurds are now much better off as a result of our invasion and removal of Saddam.
I have to ask, do you think, given what you've said about Saudi Arabia, that we should have acted militarily against them? If not, what actions would you have taken against them?
To me, Saudi Arabia is too tied into the global economy to both disrupt through military action but also to remain as it is long term. I think the problems they represent get changed over time through basic economics and demographic shifts.
