Reply #31: Rubin was on CNNI about a week ago

[lebkuchen]

Rubin left me with the impression that the US had only two options in dealing with Iraq: either sanction the hell out of them or, if a country had the will and the guts, attack them.

Over ten years of sanctions left the population and infrastructure destitute, and bombing the Iraqis created vendettas against the US to last a lifetime.

Is Rubin's logical ability so limited that he honestly cannot come up with hundreds of alternatives to dealing with Iraq other than starvation and mass murder??
