No I haven't. That shows there are idiots in every crowd.

I've noticed...

Which is a brutal dictator can be ousted only by someone even more brutal.

Is that so?? We seemed to have done a pretty good friggin' job of doing just that in WWII..

And we were able to cause the Soviet Union to collapse under its own weight..

And Ghandi was able to get the British to leave India without ever preaching violence.

I think that was just an excuse in the same sense that yellow cake was just an excuse to justify invading Iraq.

Well, you'd have to ask the British about that.. They seem to still stand by their sources. And it was those sources that Bush quoted in his SOU address (rightly or wrongly)..

And the rumour has it that the source may have been a French intelligence connection who was disgusted that the French company in Niger where that yellowcake was allegedly coming from, was engaged in such activities.

Btw, did you know that Chirac sold Iraq weapons grade uranium, rather than merely the much less enriched nuclear reactor fuel?
