their cultures are often so ingrained with a history of barbarism and ruthless dictators, that it is probably unrealistic to think they are capable of embracing democracy and becoming responsible world community members. It may take another ruthless dictator like Saddam to run the place.

Arabs are not culturally "capable of embracing democracy?" Huey, that ridiculous. You probably would have said the same thing about Germany and Japan in 1945, as did many people at the time.

Huey, I think that if free reporters were embedded in Iraqi positions you would feel more encouraged.

According to "the guardian" online (not sure I know if that is a biased source?)- the chemical weapons plant was built by the UK some years ago which is why the US backed down the media machine in promoting their "find". Regardless of who built it, it seems like it did produce chemical weapons.

The problem now though, is whether the iraqis themselves will view the US as liberators or conquerors, it looks like the latter and that is not optimal.
