| 36. Saddam Being at Large Emboldened Iraqi Resistance |
|
There is no question about that among any serious military analyst or scholar. His capture weakened the resistance, which in turn makes American troops in that part of the world -- at least -- safer. To the extent a stable Iraq is good for the world and the US, I think it also makes America safer as a whole, although that is much more attenuated than the immediate situation in Iraq.
No one is saying his capture would END the resistance. No one is saying the resistance is going to be a bed of roses from here on out.
But it sure as hell is better now that Saddam has been captured.
