Where are these Iraqis?

209.50.252.70

One in six Iraqis are in exile, and they want this war.

Many have fled Saddam Hussein's tyranny. We must listen to them


And a few other links about the Iraqi opposition:

csmonitor.com

Again Len.. 1 in 6 Iraqis lives in exile out of fear of Saddam, or lack of economic opportunity there. That's over 2 MILLION Iraqis.. (And you worry about the Palestinians?)

And quit bringing up your friggin' straw arguments about the Israelis or I'll ban you... Iraq is under a BINDING UNSC RESOLUTION, ISRAEL IS NOT.

You know DAMN WELL that I have little problem with TRUE DEMOCRACIES holding nuclear weapons as defense against aggression.

Were there any Arab democracies (let alone peaceful ones), I wouldn't have as much of a problem with their possessing nuclear technology.

So knock it off... Or come up with something more creative.

((And the French sold Saddam over $1.5 Billion in goods over the past several years.. That's 1.5 Billion reasons for them to keep him in power..."

Is this the same reason why America protects Isra'El from UN inspections, silence of their not having signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and the allowing of the continuation of demolishing Palestinian homes and building more settlements?))

Geeze, we give Israel $2 billion a year, we don't get that from them. I'd give good odds that if the Palistinians would quit killing the Jews, the Jews would leave the Palistinians alone.
