NATO Might Support Military Action Against Iraq

HeadlineDec 27, 2001

According to remarks made by NATO’s secretary general this week, NATO might support military action against Iraq if convincing evidence is found linking Saddam Hussein’s regime to terrorism. Buoyed by the military success in Afghanistan, a growing chorus of Americans is now advocating Saddam Hussein be the next target, whether or not he had a hand in September 11. Most argue that something like the Afghanistan model of training and equipping the Iraqi resistance, while using American airpower and special forces to support that resistance, could get the job done. But others have said repeatedly that action against Iraq could be dangerous, if only because it may break up the so-called international coalition against terrorism forged after the September 11 attacks, not to mention the increased number of casualties that would occur.
