You know your posts are really so fanciful. At some point does the common sense kick in? Comparing Bush to Hitler - Hitler was in a league of his own. If you actually study his work, his hatred, his manipulation and mass killings, torture brought to an exponential level of efficiency, you wouldn't post the way you do. Saddam was close - but as we say here, "no cigar." As for you, I see why you are called Suckmy Huang.

Ed, "Where's WMDs?" As you well know this is an ongoing issue. I'm confident the weapons will be found. It's easy to hide vials of anthrax in a country the size of California. It's easy to bury and hide nerve gas agents or the pre-cursers for making those agents. "Everyone here already knew that Iraq invasion had been planned many years ago by the US special interest group." Bullsht!! Powell delineated precisly what Hussein needed to do to avoid war. Hand over all documents, cooperate completely and allow the inspectors to interview their scientists. Do you know how many scientists were interviewed by the Inspectors [hint: it was less than one] The invasion could've been avoid. BTW, what special interest group are you referring to anyway. ""warnings".....doesn't make the bombing and killing and taking over a sovereign state legal"* What consitutes a 'legal' war? This is a made up concept by you and the other Hate-America-First groups who wish to tag the Iraq war with fake legalisms. Was WWII a 'legal' war? It wasn't UN approved either. Was Saddam's war against Iran or Kuwait legal? Please don't give me your Philsophy 101 ethical drivel about a legal precept that doesn't exist and was never agreed upon by the nations of the world. Nations do war for greed, power and self-defense. Hussein was an erratic tinhorn Warlord with a history of manufacturing, possessing and using WMDs on his neighbors. That, and a pathetic UN too weak to enforce its own resolutions, was sufficient justification for the U.S. to erase his sorry ass from the planet. It's a terrible thing that innocent people did die, but that has to be weighed against the million or so people that died in the past because of Hussein and the God knows how many people who might've died in the future because of him. "Could you tell me which Arab countries support ... the US before and during the Iraq war this time?" As for Arab support in the region, Turkey, Saudi Arabia & Kuwait allowed the US to use airbases in the region to enforce the no-fly zones. Saudi Arabia was a staging area for US troops during the War. There is a US airbase in Qattar. The attack began in Kuwait. It's my understanding that Jordan allowed US overflights over their territory. I've heard that Libya has been supplying the U.S. with information on terrorist organizations. And, even Iran was strangely silent during the conflict. As they old saying goes, "silence construes consent".
