I hear about these all the time. But what exactly are the mass murders? Ask the reported 400k Iraqis he killed. Oh, wait - you don't have to commune with the dead. Saddam had his government keep detailed records - even video tapes, sometimes - of his murder sprees. So ask the Iraqi Governing Council. Or you could inquire with the larger human rights groups. Do you deny any of it happened or do you just not care? What exactly is the worldwide terrorism that Saddam has spread? His connection to Al Queda is supported by extensive evidence gathered over the last few years as I'm sure you know, but choose to ignore. Furthermore, Vic Lazlo posted here just yesterday recent reports out of Iraq of evidence linking Saddam DIRECTLY to 9/11. Then, of course, there's the publicly proclaimed support of Saddam for Palestinian terrorists - are you denying that too? Where exactly do you get your information? Mainstream broadcast media (and no, not Fox - not that there's anything wrong with Fox, mind you), NY Times, AJC, WSJ, Foreign Affairs journal, AP and Reuters reports online, and occasionally other publications. Why? Where do you get yours? The voices in your head? "Is this what 'they've' been telling you?" LOL.

And did any of the incidents, which you haven't yet named, happen before America's policy of providing money for Iraq's weapons procurement? Has American foreign policy itself, whether in South or Latin America, Africa, Asia or the MidEast ever been a contributing factor to mass murder or execution-like conditions in any of those places? I'm sure America has in roundabout way, under both parties are you saying we should withdraw from foreign policy and the world theater entirely? - use all our money and influence in helping America only? - let the rest of this crazy world fend for themselves, defend, arm and feed themselves? sometimes I think that is exactly what we should do and forget about the dishonesty and criticism of the rest of the world - answerable only to ourselves
