I think that if you recognize that Saddam deserved to be driven out and toppled, and you say in the same paragraph that his scuds were used for self-defense, you are in fact defending Saddam. Why kid us with this "no one is defending Saddam" trip? Re: "But remember, Saddam stupidly (I'd have said ruthlessly, and by his own choice - Dan B.) attacked Kuwait only after his people were told by the first Bush Administration that the US was neutral on the border oilfield controversy." I guess you see that this gave Saddam a license to take over Kuwait. Hard for me to see that, but maybe then, it's our fault. But too, "no one is defending Saddam," as I recall you believe so firmly. Re: "Strangely, it was the bases we left behind in Saudi Arabia after the Gulf War which most triggered the rage of Osama and other Arab Islamists against us. They considered that occupying their holy land. So those bases indirectly caused 9-11." Osama's likes directly caused 911, as only religious nutcakes could. But I won't get you wrong and imagine anyone is defending Osama here! Heavens forbid! I wouldn't want to spread a false impression of you, certainly not knowingly, anyway. Dan B.
