I wouldn't get too defensive Pearly...it's obvious to all of us Barry's using strawman arguments. Your pro-american stance is well known.

<< This is not about "American bashing". >>

Sure it is. Your note puts all the fault for the Iraqi people's misery on the US. You don't even question whether or not Saddamn Hussein's ruthless and dangerous regime may hold some responsibility for the Iraqi people suffering.

You try to be clever by seeming to be fair and balanced, but a lot of your notes are obviously biased against America, especially the previous note you posted to me.

<< You know as well as do that whole loads of people die in the USA because they do not get appropriate treatment soon enough. >>

Another biased statement bashing America. Of course there is some truth to this, but this can be said about any country. You comment is disproportionate to the actual situation.

<< No I don't condone what Saddamn is doing ... >>

So..... after unfairly and inaccurately, strongly faulting America, you really tear into Saddamn, don't you? You don't "condone" Saddamn ....... Wow! What a blistering attack against Saddamn. <g>

Also, you don't respond to my questions about the real issues, such as: If the sanctions were lifted, how much of the increased revenues would Saddamn Hussein use to create weapons of mass destruction and new billion dollar palaces, and how much would get to the Iraqi people?

Also, how safe would it be for the world, if easing the sanctions sped up Iraq's chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs?
