Actually, Cheney was against the sanctions and wanted them ended. It
allegedly took a while for the neocons to bring him around to their
view. If you are going to play voodoo doll games, save it for Perle,
Wolfowitz, and that gang.

As for Iraq: we have free elections in Lebanon, Syria is learning to
behave itself, all the palestinian factions are in agreement about a
truce with Israel, Egypt is preparing for nationwide multi-party
elections, oh, and as for Iraq, two of the main Sunni insurgent groups
are now in discussions to come into government.

Not a single member of the US military is a draftee, they knew the
risks when they signed up, and obviously thought the rewards were greater.
