guess what? The dossier claims 24 US firms sold Iraq weapons. Hewlett-Packard sold nuclear and rocket technology; Dupont sold nuclear technology, and Eastman Kodak sold rocket capabilities. The dossier also says some '50 subsidiaries of foreign enterprises conducted their arms business with Iraq from the US'. It claims the US ministries of defence, energy, trade and agri culture, and the Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories, supplied Iraq with WMD technology. Germany, currently opposed to war, is shown to be Iraq's biggest arms-trading partner with 80 companies selling weapons technology, including Siemens. It sold medical machines with dual-purpose parts used to detonate nuclear bombs. The German government reportedly 'actively encouraged' weapons co-operation and assistance was allegedly given to Iraq in developing poison gas used against Kurds. as if we did not know?...lol..indian givers-ssssss sundayherald.com

The viewpoint that America is a threat to world peace is clearly ridiculous. And if people think that they aren't in touch with reality and have likely been duped by a press hostile to America. A good bit of the British and European press fits that bill. When Hitler started out Germany was not any longer the preeminent power in Europe. His re-armament campaign combined with the appeasement policies of countries like Britain and France changed that. If we let Saddam acquire nukes and take over the Persian Gulf, he will be a significant power too.
