you think Saddam's rucksack is fully packed? he's not driving on only three wheels? don't forget, HE started it, by invading Kuwait. of course the state dept. encouraged him via indifference when he began to threaten Kuwait. i agree though that what has happened since the war concluded is to be condemned. there is simply no good reason to keep up the bombing raids and not allow Iraq to do with its oil revenues as it wishes. the Palestinians are another matter altogether. their wish for a homeland and freedom from oppression is legitimate imo.

Simply untrue. 1)Sadam could have withdrawn from Kuwait 2)He did not need to gas his own people 3)Sticking a stick in the bears rib is Insane in my opinion. 4)Nobody stole anything from the palestinians. Palestine was divided into two states for two peoples whom had reasanable claim to the land. One of those people decided to get all his friends(arab states) and attack the other. They lost by a miracle. so who should be blamed? The victim? Should the Mexicans lay claim to California? We took it from them under the guise of agression? Get real. The Israeli's have done more to improve society at large then ANY ARAB STATE. They have taken a worthless piece of dessert and made an oasis of learning and industry. The Arabs are just Jealous that they live in such squalor. Israel has tried to make peace, they have offered third party control of parts of Jeruselem and yet the palestinians still would rather blow up busses? Please dont bring your drivel here about the poor palestinians, there is plenty of room for everyone to compromise. However the Arabs dont want peace they want war because they only understand destruction, and hate. Outside of Egypt there is hardly anything in any Arab country worth keeping, Sexism, fannatisism, poverty, authoritarianism. I never despised russians, or chinese, or Japenese because they are an inteligent people who contribute to the world. The Arabs are worthless.
