"You won't have any problem with Saddam," the Jewish >congressman continued. "We'll be rid of the bastard soon enough. And in >his place we'll install a pro-Western dictator, who will be good for us >and for you [Israel]." > >Lantos explained to his guest from Israel that there's no lack of Iraqi >opposition figures in exile, but until they learn how to run a state, >"we'll be there." According to Lantos that interim period, with an >American-sponsored dictator in power, should last between five to six years. > >NOTE: Ironically, Lantos is Founding Co-Chair of the Congressional Human >Rights Caucus.
