From what I have learned his (Bush1) only UN sanction was to remove SH from Kuwait. He followed the "rules." It was a grievous mistake.........one he will carry to his grave. This time his son got sanctions through 1441.......and a nation of people will be forever grateful. M

Bush 1 ?, who helped support him ? why didn't He take him down before ALL those 150 child prisoners you mentioned had to suffer?.. My, my... someone responds to your emotional out-burst about how you value the life of one Iraqi child more than Saddam Hussein's life, and all you can respond with is how Bush 1 didn't deal with the problem?? No mention of the 8 years in which the Clinton/Gore administration DID EVEN LESS to resolve the problem... I really find such disingenuous responses to be the norm by those who are willing to accept "peace at any cost", ignoring the suffering of thousands of innocents at the hands of an evil regime, in order to avoid any potential responsibility for errantly killing a few during the process of freeing them from oppression. Just remember that your right to possess such opinions was paid for in blood by those who fought to create, and protect, that right. And that's the same situation in Iraq. People have died in order that a new political and social structure can be built. And by your dishonoring those sacrifices, even by innocent victims caught in the middle of the fighting, you are spitting on the very concept of creating the enviroment where freedom and democracy can take root. I know I would rather be dead instead of living in a society where individual freedoms are respected and protected. And that seems to be the same thinking of those who have fought and died to create our political and economic system where the rights of the individual are inalienable, not merely granted or revoked at the whim of the most powerful junkyard dog holding power. As far as I'm concerned, you'd might as well just spit on the graves of everyone who has made that ultimate sacrifice so you can dishonor them... Hawk
