You wrote:<font color=blue>"The reason I know that Saddam did not give that much $$$ to terrorists is because he was more concerned with his own aggrandizement and well being..........ie. expensive palaces and cars, big yachts."<font color=black> I am always fascinated by the confused logic of Democrats. You are 100% positive that Saddam did not give "that much" $$$ to terrorists, because he was preoccupied with luxury? You think that Saddam's aggrandizement precluded him 24 hours per day from other activities, such as planning covert operations against America? Do you think that Saddam had time to go to the bathroom? How about sports events? How about executions? How about invading other countries? How about sex? You say that you know exactly what Saddam did every day, and it did not include the funding of terrorism? You say that you know positively that Saddam was not going to increase funding of terrorism, or that Saddam was not going to try to get even with America?

You wrote:<font color=blue>"Muslims do not teach hate."<font color=black> Where did you pull that knowledge out from? Here is one of thousands of articles about Muslim indoctrination of hate: boston.com "THE SCHOOL YEAR is in full swing. Across the United States children are learning civics fundamentals -- democracy, pluralism, and mutual respect. These are all key values underlying our multiracial, multicultural society. In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, however, children are taught contempt for anyone who is Christian or Jewish, and the West as a whole is denigrated. The daily teaching of hatred is taking place, as it has for many years, in a nation long purported to be America's closest ally in the Muslim world. Unfortunately, amid reports about tensions in US-Saudi relations, one issue largely neglected is education. That is a pity. <font color=red> The pervasive denigration of the West in Saudi schools is essential to grasping the root of the long dormant fissures in the US-Saudi relationship, and, of course, understanding why 15 of the 19 terrorists on 9/11 were products of the Saudi educational system.<font color=black> Saudi children are taught intolerance and contempt for the West and non-Muslims in a wide range of subjects, from literature to math. This is the central finding of a study, co-sponsored by the American Jewish Committee, of Saudi Arabia Ministry of Education books used in grades 1 though 10. For example, eighth-graders are taught, in a geography book, that "Islam replaced the former religions that replaced it" and that "a malicious Crusader-Jewish alliance is striving to eliminate Islam from all the continents." In a ninth-grade language exercise, Saudi youth are instructed to use the sentence, "The Jews are wickedness in its very essence," when learning the rules of the Arabic language. Saudi schoolbooks implore Muslims not to befriend Christians or Jews. "Emulation of the infidels leads to loving them, glorifying them and raising their status in the eyes of the Muslim, and that is forbidden," states a ninth-grade jurisprudence book."

You wrote:<font color=blue>"Muslims do not teach hate."<font color=black> From the Kuran: AL-MAEDA ===> 5:14. "And with those who say: "Lo! we are Christians," We made a covenant, but they forgot a part of that whereof they were admonished. Therefor We have stirred up enmity and hatred among them till the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will inform them of their handiwork."

You wrote:<font color=blue>"Muslims do not teach hate."<font color=black> The Koran is filled with hate against Christians, Jews and all other religions. Our world leaders keep saying that Islam is a religion of peace. Are they all blind and dumb??? Either they haven't researched Muslim teaching, or they don't want to piss off Muslims. From the Koran: AT-TAWBA ===> 9:29. "Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low." "And the Jews say: Ezra is the son of Allah, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah (Himself) fighteth against them. How perverse are they!"
