Al Re..Terrorism is the worst abuse of power there is, but you have conveniently ignored Saddam's terrorism and murder of his own people, and rail against GWB supposed abuses, because it serves your purpose. You guys keep hinting at association between Saddam and 9/11, which is what Americans think of when you say terrorism. ?????????? Just how did I hint at anything even remotely connected to 9/11. In that sentence, I clearly say "Saddam's terrorism and murder of his own people" How did I connect Saddam's terrorism of his people to 9/11? You got it backwards How so?? GWB stated many times that if Saddam opened up his country to unfettered UN inspections like S.Africa did, he would agree Iraq complied with the 17 UN resolutions, thereby eliminating the need for the sanctions. You are trying to say that because we haven't found WMD in Iraq, Saddam complied with the resolutions. Not so. Not so. Saddam had to prove he didn't have WMD, and that he dismantled all labs and programs which could have produced them, and agreed not to produce them in the future. That author clearly agrees Saddam didn't give up his desire to produce them. In fact I have seen stories lately where scientists claim to have lied to Saddam, that they were producing weapons, when they had no such capability. In addition there is this story. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/01/09/1073437458359.html Former US president Bill Clinton said in October during a visit to Portugal that he was convinced Iraq had weapons of mass destruction up until the fall of Saddam Hussein, Portuguese Prime Minister Jose Manuel Durao Barroso said. "When Clinton was here recently he told me he was absolutely convinced, given his years in the White House and the access to privileged information which he had, that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction until the end of the Saddam regime," he said in an interview with Portuguese cable news channel SIC Noticias. Clinton, a Democrat who left office in 2001, met with Durao Barroso on October 21 when he travelled to Lisbon to give a speech on globalisation. If Bill truly believed there were WMD in Iraq, why is it so hard to believe GWB also believed there were.
