The problem is that the current government needs to condemn the Reagan-government if they want credibility in the Middle East.
That will never happen, and whatever happens to Saddam will just be a reminder to the people in the Middle East that being a friend of the US means nothing in the long run. The long tradition of support to Israel just means that it becomes really clear which side was designated the enemy to start with.
I can't shake the feeling that the current Iraq conflict is nothing but Bush Jr. trying to correct daddy's largest mistake - betraying the rebels after the first Gulf war. The problem is that nobody will care. It's too late.
