<Lindybill@blind.com> OK, since I've been asked so nicely, and repeatedly: When I said <Saddam Hussain is not a terrorist, doesn't harbor them> I was incorrect. He has made a tactical alliance with Al Queada, and we are mostly responsible for that forced marriage. He has pandered to the widespread anger at Israel, throughout the Arab world, in an attempt to deflect our attack on him. He may be operating terrorist training centers. But, if he is, he is doing less of it than Iran, Syria, Libya, etc. The evidence of training for sky-jacking in all those other countries, is stronger than the evidence against Iraq. He may be funding Palestinian terrorists, but he is doing less of it than our good friends the Saudis. He has terrorized the civilians in his own country. About as much as the governments of 20 or so U.S. client states have done. He doesn't run a democracy. But then, neither do the Saudis, the Pakistanis, the Egyptians, and about 50 other countries we aren't going to invade because they are our close allies. What's so special about Iraq?
