WOW!! People just lining up to set me straight! Well..I don't know if I can get to all those queries in one post but I'll try. The feckless,corrupt and impotent UN had inspectors and Iraq had sanctions for 10 yrs...and Saddam did nothing to ease his peoples' pain...just pointed their hatred at America. Another point you seem to fully understand about Hussein is the estimates of Saddams Murders run close to 2mill during his reign of terror. I can post a link to the 60-70 pillars of politics that were gung ho to topple Saddam, but when the crap hits the fan...We've lost our will to fight? The historical fact of his brutality demanded his removal....just as Amins' atrocities demanded his removal...and now we have a great actor playing Amin up for the Oscars? Sorry, I'll not be see'in that one. GRs' B: the entire intelligence community of world agreed with Americas' intell on reason for Saddams demise. So...the US duped the world? Wrong answer! GR C; if you or anyone else has a Congressman that was cowed into submission...PLEASE vote that sorry candy-a$$ed person OUT at the next turn...They're not the one's to lead you! Don't worry if Radical Islam settles in Iraq...Ask France and England how they're handling the Muslim hordes. I'd like to se you folks post on that subject. We already know of US compromise in dealing with our "friends" I'll not debate that here. God knows you'll be rushing to post on that. I ABSOLUTELY refuse to believe that the Adminstration(does that include Pentagon?) sent these soldiers to war to die needlessly. Its ironic,GR, that you would comment on me cavalierly discounting Democrats opinions just by their party affliliation. Au contraire...One only needs them to start talking to see the glaze form over their eyes in their pursuit of Utopia! As for hiding out on right-wing boards...I don't. This board is enough..although an occasional romp over to the dregs of the Old board isn't uncommon. Well, as you can imagine...I'm just plum tuckered out by all this thinking... I think I'll get that drink now
Sweet Dreams!
