Just because Bush knew the removing Saddam was a good idea (as Clinton did too) before 9-11-01, that doesn't mean he should stay in power.

Assuming I understand what you mean above...removing Saddam was common policy as removing Castro has been for decades.

The French lied to Powell about backing a resolution to use force and undermined the U.S. from the very beginning. They also actively worked against us to respond to Libya in the late 80's (or early 90's?)Just as you guys continue to do.

We did an awful lot of uncompromising lying ourselves. Powell's testimony on Feb 5th at the UN turned out to be but a collection of lies...wether they were his or the lies of our intelligence...he still represented the US.

You are on the wrong side imo, but it is a free country, and you can work against the U.S. if you like. Just as the terrorists do (although not as violently as they do).

This is the same old tired patriotism argument used to stifle an opposing view. It has no place in a democracy. Ask youself this. Would you unconditionally support the policies of the men who lead your country regardless of the ethics of their methods or of their rationale?
