Is Saddam alive or dead? If George Bush doesn’t know, I certainly don’t. But it’s clear from the last week of the war that, so far at least, U.S. forces have achieved the “best case scenario” I outlined just about a week ago, which looked extremely unlikely to me then.
There’s a lot more that can and will happen between now and the war’s end — may it come soon. In the meantime, the Republican Guard has collapsed, the British and American forces have won more control of the south and the Iraqis have been unwilling or unable to deploy chemical weapons against their invaders.
Now all the U.S. has to do is find some real, verifiable “weapons of mass destruction,” turn Iraq into a democracy, and persuade the world’s hundreds of millions of Muslims that it was all for their own good.
