Tell me Zonder how you would respond if Bush gassed blacks 12 years ago. Would you say the same things that you are saying about Saddam.

I would be all for condemning Bush to life imprisonment. 12 years ago.

However, if, 12 years later, the Russian administration tried to use that as an excuse to invade America, I would reply in the exact same way that I am responding to YOU on this issue - that is, there are other issues at stake, other reasons for this incident to be brought up 12 years later, to rally people to support the invasion.

Central to my arguments is that we're replacing Saddam

Do you think I have not noticed that Saddam is being replaced?

I am questioning THE MOTIVE. Not THE EVENTUALITY that Saddam will be replaced.

That is the point you seem to avoid

Excuse me?

"Avoid"? I am answering your posts sentence by sentence. A practice you might like to emulate....
