- Saddam was killing 5,000 people a month by virtue of outright murder and allowing his people to starve and die from lack of neccessary medical treatment.

Of course our staunch support of sanctions had no role in that...

- They were shooting at our planes patrolling the no-fly zone.

An arbitrary action by the US and UK, w/o UN backing.

- They had refused to allow weapons inspections to continue, in direct violation of a ceasefire agreement.

A cheney style falsehood...UNMOVIC inspectors had to be evacuated just as Iraq was destroying what little was left of unconventional weapons.

- There was SOME terrorist training going on with Iraq government support within Iraq

Another cheney falsehood...

- They were paying the families of Palestinian terrorists

So are Saudis...when do we invade them?

- The man was a brutal dictator who had killed hundreds of thousands of people over the years.

Many with with uncoventional weapons provided by the reagan administration

- There was every indication he would be succeeded by even worse.

You mean like we have in the US nowadays?

Any one of these, taken alone, would be sufficient reason to go to war against Iraq. But the one reason that is more important than any other?

- Because removing Saddam can be part of a solution to the problem of anti-Americanism in the Middle East.

In fact it is the cause of unprecedented anti-americanism, not only around the ME but the world. The upside logic of a typical supremacist right winger.
