So Raymond ... a man is holding a group of people hostage at gunpoint. You want him to give up his weapon and let the hostages go unharmed.

After a day, the man says the hostages are hungry and he needs food for them. So you send in some food. But instead of feeding the hostages, the man exchanges the food with someone for more guns and bullets.

Does this make you guilty of starving the hostages ? Clearly, you think it does.

I don't.

By the way -- I don't think Bush has shown sufficient evidence to justify invasion either.

Chris

On these issues I would say Saddam is the little Satan and the US is the big Satan. The US supported Saddam when he was committing his worst crimes. A bit hypocritical to denounce him now for things he did when the US supported him in his war with Iran.
