Here is one every European: Do nothing and keep Iraq under embargo.
Rationale: Mr. Hussein is an old man
Sounds great, Europeans get to continue doing business with Saddam selling
him the parts, service and equipment he needs to develop & manufacture WMDs.
You get to continue buying under the table those things Saddam needs to get
hard currency and when the mushroom cloud rises over New York City or we are
dropping like flies from bacteriological warfare you get to yell piously once
again, "Don't you Yankee gunslingers go off half-cocked. You will ruin our
markets." Oh, I forgot, you will also nod agreement so sincerely when Sadaam
next starves his people by spending that hard currency on weapons but not on
food or medicine and then blames the American embargo.
Rudiger, the Europeans have played the game of trading with all sides
during the First World War, Second World War, and you are doing it now.
