long-gone >How would you feel were Mandela compared to Stalin? It simply wouldn't stick. Anyone who suggested it would be ridiculed. >Bush has always been clear that our war isn't against all Moslems, rather against Islamic extremist terrorists and those who provide them support. Saddam has supported NO terrorists. Until the US double-crossed him about the oil price after he fought the proxy US/UK war against Iran, he was always a US "asset". In fact, that's where he got his "weapons of mass destruction" --- from the very people who now accuse him of being a demon. Apparently hypocrisy knows no limits. >It has been well proven Iraq has provided payments to the families of the suicide bombers of 9-11 No, he gave money only to the suicide bombers in Israel. In fact, no-one knows who the families of the alleged 911 bombers are because 12 of the alleged 19 "terrorists" are apparently alive and well and living in Saudi Arabia. At least they were, after the incident happened. > to this very day allows Al-Queda to stay inside her borders unmolested. If al Qaeda is in Iraq they are in the north in the part controlled by the Kurds, under the US/UK air umbrella, and who, in fact, are the US friends. Indeed, they are the people who the US wants to replace Saddam --- only they have said they will not. Apparently you are unaware that al Qaeda are Islamic "fundamentalists" and Saddam's Baath party in Iraq are secular Muslims who are vehemently opposed to fundamentalism. It was, for that reason, that the US "used" Saddam to make war on the Ayatollah after he deposed that other one-time US "asset", the Shah.
