I'm curious to hear all of your thoughts on the impact of such a scenario.  As some of you will remember, Senior Bush encouraged Shiites and other Iraqi's to rise against the Baath party in the Gulf War, only to abandon them.  The result was that thousands were slaughtered by Saddam.  Accordingly, if the Shiites\/Kurds again begin to fight against Saddam, and Bush pulls out, won't a premature end to the war result in thousands of deaths?  I guess the point I'm trying to make here is, if such a scenario indeed occurs, won't protesting for \"peace\" actually lead to a greater civilian loss of life at the hands of a ruthless dictator? <br><br> Thoughts? <br><br> www.latimes.com<\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Please comment on the above scenario","numcomment":2,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2003\/03\/41667.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":41805,"heading":"No Because the Shiites don't trust bush","article":"The Shiites hate Saddam, but they have learned that you can't trust a bush, so, according to independent sources, the word is out that they're going to fight the coalition forces for their own sovereignty.\r\n\r\nAnd by the way, those stories of a rebellion against Saddam in Basra are fake too.
