The current debate within the United States and the European nations about whether an international effort, including the use of military force, should be made to remove Saddam Hussein as the leader of Iraq, also offers an opportunity to consider the circumstances surrounding Mr. Hussein’s rise to power, his leadership and what might follow his departure. Or, we might ask: How did the United States find itself in so intense and public a struggle with such a small and remote nation?
Sa�d Aburish’s Saddam Hussein: The Politics of Revenge, provides some answers to that question but ultimately disappoints because it pays scant attention to the threat to stability in the Middle East and southern Europe posed by Mr. Hussein’s armaments factories and then offers only the most general courses of action.
