In his memoirs, "A World Transformed," written five years ago, George Bush,
Senior, wrote the following to explain why he didn't go after Saddam Hussein
at the end of the Gulf War:
"Trying to eliminate Saddam...would have incurred incalculable human and
political costs. Apprehending him was probably impossible.... We would have
been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq.... there was no
viable "exit strategy" we could see, violating another of our principles.

Furthermore, we had been consciously trying to set a pattern for handling
aggression in the post-Cold War world. Going in and occupying Iraq, thus
unilaterally exceeding the United Nations' mandate, would have destroyed the
precedent of international response to aggression that we hoped to
establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the United States could
conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land"

If only his son could read.
