Hi rrufff, you did answer my simple question fine. Let's carry on our talks.

>>I feel the administration was foolish to try to justify the war with finding things that were totally under the control of Saddam.<<

The recent news reports already showed that the real problem lies in the administration knowingly Made Up WMDs evidences so to justify the war rather than they failed to find the WMDs. Besides, the logic is laughable: Tyrant Sadam had them but he did not use them or destroyed them when he was facing fatal defeat.

>> Besides the real reason to oust Saddam was the same as I would advocate today if Hitler were in power.<<

To liken someone as Hitler, a few basic criteria need to be met:

_The tyrant’s nation is stronger, especially in military power, than the rival nation;

_The tyrant starts the war and commits massive killings in the other country and aims at occupation, usually acts with false reasons and propaganda;

_The majority of the world and UN are against the invasion and occupation.

Saddam maybe one of the many living bad dictators in the world, but he doesn’t seem to meet the criteria above this time.

>>As for being a Zionist, I don't consider myself any label. I have never visited nor would I live in Israel I prefer to explain rather than label.<<

I do not label anyone either. And don’t want to come up with a conclusion if it's good or bad yet. But Zionism is a term and a cause established by a group of Jewish people and they often proudly declared themselves as Zionists (but some of them may rather hind it for some reason).

Nowadays Israel is under the elected Zionist Likud Party leadership, if I’m not mistaken about that.
