That politicized drivel is incredulous compared to the hundreds of Iraqi's who have fled, or escaped Iraq - who personally endured Saddams "value system" and who have come forward to publically speak of the Evil and the attrocities under Saddam. They talked of unspeakable Mengele-esque experiments and tortures, including that of the children of Scientists who refused to work on Saddam's WMD program - having their small children tortured, dismembered and killed in front of them - for refusing to participate in building those weapons. They talked of School Children beaten for failing to actively & vocally support Saddams staged parades & public Rallys. They talked of Saddam's son literally grabbing the wives & mothers of Iraqi Men and their families off the street - because he liked how they looked...to be used for his own depraved pleasure - ...then killed and never seen again. Saddam Hussein's brutality, use of torture, use of human experiements and use of biologic weapons on his own people and enemies, is a "value system" only equaled by Adolph Hitler. ...sadly, it's going to take a VX, or Seren Gas attack at a major US Sporting, or Cultural event killing 10's of Thousands, or the use of a Nuclear Dirty-Bomb, or Suitcase Bomb in a major US City...which will forever change the way we all live our daily lives in America - before we hear these words used once again, by those who for now, want to pretend it will all just go away... Never, never; never again. ["In Britain, with 1.5 million Moslems, if there is a war there will be widespread support for the troops but not the war and at a possible cost in the future which might make the IRA attacks in the past seem like child's play."] Hmmmm ? Kind of the same arguement made here 60 years ago about the Asian population, when we dropped the Atomic Bomb on Japan ? And the same arguement was made during the original Gulf War... And the same arguement was made when we entered Yugoslavia, then Afghanistan... I guess it would be much better, to just let Saddam develop the final stage of his Nuclear Weapons program...and let him furnish those weapons to Bin Laden for use in America...than it would be for those 1.5 Million Moslems to potentially rise up...but, then again; I thought those 1.5 Million Moslems were good, loyal, peace, freedom and democracy loving good citizens of the countries they now resided in ? Why would they "arise" - when we are libertaing good Moslems from one of the most brutal, Evil & Tyrannical regimes in the history of man ? Indeed, the motto for President Bush & America once again leading the World in combating Evil - should be: "The failure to condemn an activity is indeed, an offer of tacit approval. All it takes for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing" Saddam & the EVIL of Global Terrorism is now flourishing, led by Oil $ buying the technologic where-withall to bridge the gap of time & distance, in bringing that EVIL to Main St USA and the major cities of the free world. Thank God, that not all "good men" are standing idly by, doing nothing...
