same as for my mate hes in the signals in the british army hes a bit nervous he only joind a few mounths ago.

My brother is in the navy and was stationed in Bahrain when the Twin Towers and Pentagon were attacked. He was out there for a while afterward too. He's going to be on his way to Japan I guess shortly.

what i want to know is how do the people of iraq see sadam? do they like him? apprentally he's quite evil to them. If he were assinated how would they react?

A lot of reporters, especially from ABC have gone in and interviewed people. One woman came up to an ABC reporter and whispered and begged for something to be done to bring down Hussein. But I think generally the situation is like a massive cult. They have a leader that feeds them propaganda and have no other outlet for receiving news. For instance - they expect Saddam Hussein to get 100% of the vote in the Iraqi elections. In order for anyone to get 100% acceptance something is wrong. Also they showed on the news these 8 year olds dressed in military uniforms and singing "we love you saddam, we will spill our blood for you." over and over again in preparation of the elections. It's just strange - but it's also what Hitler did with his youth group organizations.

If military action does take place what form will the action take? A full scale ingvaion or just air strikes?

From what they've been saying here - it would have to be full scale invasion.
