What if Saddam and his two sons had been killed when they were struck by surprise inspecting one of the bases, or whatever, during U.S. bomibng in December of 1998?
There would be lots of outrage in the Middle East; including possible a civil war in Iraq. Ont he one hand, Bill Clinton would probably get some credit for ridding the world f the man who gassedthe Kirds and such, but on the other, there could be mass mayhem in the streets. That, ironically, the U.S. might send peacekeepers in to help solve. Or, would they? It may not seem like it, but the example of Somalia could be used to show that troops should be sent.
How would this effect Gore in 2000?
