Finally. if Saddam manages to survive in the months ahead. we should realize that getting him out of power. which must remain our goal. may Involve providing more than Just verbal support for the Kurdish rebels and the Shiite rebels. and others who seek to establish a legitimate government In Baghdad. I understand that the logistics of providing military and financial aid to rebels are complex. but it Is a concept that we must actively explore. There are those who say all this discussion about what to do with Saddam Hussein and the refugees of Iraq Is fruitless because we have no business meddling In the intemal affairs of a sovereign nation. Iraq has sovereignty but Saddam Hussein does noL We have no obligation to consider him or treat him as a legitimate head of state. He is a terrorist who rules by brutal force.
