But more importantly there are the people who, in the buildup to the war and afterwards, demonized the Iraqis and convinced a good part of the American public and our soldiers that the Iraqis were terrorists and responsible for the attacks of 9/11. Well, now we know about your secret love for Saddam's Baathist party, since you perceive that we "demonized" his government and the people who have fought to defend it... Which means you also approved of the tremendous atrocities they committed over the past 30 years... And you've admitted as much by declaring your support for the Iraqi insurgents who would seek to bring back the previous despotic regime, or even worse, a militant Islamic theocracy, ala Taliban... (I bet you loved the Taliban as well).. Why is it that only the US can be guilty of having committed atrocities, even when we're involved in punishing the perpetrators, but when we confront other regimes and/or militants guilty of their own atrocities, you call that "demonization".. Personaly, I consider your own views to be "demonization" of the United States and the American people.. Hawk
