Yes, I agree.

I think it's difficult for people who have felt a sense of "rightness" so deeply and so strongly to undo the neural patterns of acceptance that have become automatic. I wonder if Karen is one of the people who is honest and who deeply cares but is having difficulty undoing false "common wisdom" drilled into us by those we trust. Ed

IF there is a time that we know that Saddam was absolutely blameless for any terrorism, blameless for any murders, any bioweapons used against his own people, blameless for sending thousands of dollars to the families of suicide bombers who blew themselves up along with hundreds of innocents, blameless for having people sent head first into shredders, blameless for having his chemists and bio weapons people develop weapons to be used against the worlds peoples, blameless for having women, men and children chopped up, encased in plastic and deposited on doorsteps of family members, and all the etcs we have heard of....

well then, when I know Saddam is totally blameless ....yes, I will apologize .....

Don't hold your breath though. I think we shall seen in the next couple of years just what this hombre did to his own people as well as how he helped terrorists cause a good deal of harm in other parts of the world as well.
