>>What's so special about Iraq?<< This argument reminds me of the old joke about the Jewish mother who gave her son two shirts for his birthday. He came downstairs wearing the yellow one, and she says to him, "the other one you didn't like?" Classic double bind. If you start with Iraq, they say, what's so special about Iraq? If you start with Iran, they say, what's so special about Iran? If you start with Libya, they say, what's special about Libya? Too funny.

What's so special about Iraq? Kind of a selective laundry list, Jacob. You managed to miss that Saddam has invaded his neighbors, fought a war with us, violated every UN sanction, developed and used Chemical weapons, and has done his damndest to go Nuclear. Did I forget to mention that he has rained missiles on Israel? Or tried to assassinate an ex American President? You know he is the Mid East's worst "Bad Boy." But this statement by you really got me. 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. I suggest you read the reports by Iraqi exiles. Nobody's hands in the Mid East are as bloody as this guys. This sounds like you have been overdosing on Chomsky.
