Saddam was not a Muslim. He was able to subdue, torture and kill his own people, because we enabled him. We funded him. Now the subject of radical Islam and the terrorists is quite another story. While we have indirectly supported them though the purchase of middle eastern oil, other investments and covert deals, it was not to the degree of the kind of support we afforded Saddam. Ye reap what ye sow. And in the Muslim world we have sown some bad seeds too. Radical Islam, is not too unlike other radicals and fundamentalists in the world. Their belief system is flawed. When ever killing of others is taught, beware of the teacher. We must be ready to take on these devils. When bin Laden attacked America, we had the right to take him out. This was a just war, and we should have assigned the proper resources to completing that effort. As it is we have left this half done and went into Iraq. The fact that bin Laden is still alive, and that the Taliban has re-emerged in Afghanistan is cause for concern. And it's a rallying cause for every Islamist fundamentalist terrorist which shall urge them to fight on. This was a critical mistake in the war on terror. Diverting energy to Iraq at the time it was done was a tactical error, besides being a political error. Orca
