Hey Craig, only a really twisted mind would try to implicate the US with the human suffering in Iraq. The situation in Iraq is like this: 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 feeds himself and exchanges the remaining food with someone for more guns and bullets. Does this make you guilty of starving the hostages ? Saddam is the one guilty of not disarming as a UN condition for lifting sanctions -- sanctions that were placed on him BY THE UN as a result on a decade long pattern of aggression in the region.

So the Jews brought the holocaust upon themselves IYO, craig. Do you think its getting time for another one, by any chance? Re. Iraq - yes, Saddam Hussein is to blame for the sanctions on Iraq. 100%. I'm wondering how a fellow like you feels making common cause with leftwing anti-Americans like Noam Chomsky and his crowd - for example - Michael Albert and Stephen R Shalom: zmag.org I see a lot of irony here. How about you?
