Are you asserting there is some relevance? Of course. What's the difference between the Saddam that attacked Iran, the one that attacked Kuwait and today's Saddam. Why was he worthy of our assistance during his war with Iran, at which time he was using the same WMD against Iranians we now condemn him for having and claim he will use against us? When and how is he going to do that? Where is the evidence? Al

Somebody, somewhere, might read what you said and think that the fact that we were supportive of Saddam years ago has something to do with the current crisis, which is, of course, ridiculous. You friendships are not in part determined by your friends past behaviors? Are you asserting there is some relevance? Where is the consistency? Do you have friends that you help out one year, only to turn around then in another, and trash their house? Besides, why is it surprising to you that when you hang with thieves, people think you're one of them? Saddam is a two bit dictator, so is Mussereff [sp?]. We once supported Saddam but now we hate him. We hang Mussereff but soon we will hate him to. Nonetheless, we are hanging with militaristic dictators.......can you blame the world for confusing us with them?
