There are terrorists and mass murderers right here at home, but nothing I don't see extra countermeasures to preventing anything like that. Plus, what gives George Bush that right? America can't be wherever terrorists are. You can't bomb the fuck out of a country because your pissed off at a select group of people.

Saddam knew terrorists were in his country, subsequently doing nothing about it. The terrorists and mass murderers in the United States are arrested and properly taken care of. Most countries do not exactly accept terrorists in their country.

Give us what we want, or be destroyed, reform, or we will force you to reform? That attitude is the epitome of an imperialistic, power-hungry nation. I would like to believe the USA is slighltly more civilized than that. The reason nobody argued when Bush said we would hunt terrorists to every corner of the Earth was because everone was pissed off back then, and it's tough to make a logical decision when you are flooded with emotion, especially anger. Now, yes, go kill the people who attacked you, but you can't go to every single country that contains terrorists. In that case, why are we not everywhere in the world, because honestly it's like that. It really is everywhere in the world. We're not in China. We're not in Ireland. No, Bush just had a quarrel with Iraq before he ever became president.

Many countries around the world work together on the War on Terrorism, so attacking them is not an issue. If you have terrorist camps in your country, you're harboring them. Do you think Saddam would let us just go in? No. He supported the suicide bombings in Israel and encouraged them by giving the families $2500 per blown up family member. Letting terrorists stay in your country and paying terrorists families money when their members blow themselves up for the purpose of killing a hand full of jews for free passage and monetary support... Is this not helping/harboring terror?
Seeing how Saddam knew terrorists were in his country and did absolutely nothing about it, he was harboring. If terrorists set up camps in USA, we would have taken them out to begin with. Saddam would never take them out or let the USA come in and do it for him. Saddam would also never let the USA waltz in and kill terrorists in his country. He is the one that gassed the Kurds and those terrorists were the ones attacking the Kurds just 2 years ago.

And this "I'm going to do this in the name of anti-terrorism" attitude of his is just getting old. Your personal rights are being taken away. Patriot Act. Ashcroft has just passed a law, in the name of these anti-terrorist laws, that will allow the government to monitor your internet usage. That's not right.

You aren't a terrorist. :P What do you have to worry about?

I don't know how much of the Arab world is, but most of Iraq would rather have Saddam in power than George Bush, regardless of what the media here says. I was in India last year, if you don't know, and the story they brought there was much different than what they show you here.
|
Did Iraq change its name to India this year?
Of course, those who benefitted from Saddam being in power would have loved for him to stay there, but those who would get shot for not voting for Saddam and those who would get gassed or killed for having different religious views were most likely thrilled.

Does Saddam give Israeli suicide bomber's families $2500?

Saddam would give the suicide bomber's families $2500.

I've never before heard that about some of those countries, but that is all very interesting to know. You have to remember, the UN also did not want this war to occur. We went against UN sanctions by going to war with Iraq. How were they selling food, and other goods to Iraq "illegally"? If it was just because it was against UN sanctions then this war was illegal as wel.

Saddam Hussein siphoned off $10.1 billion from Iraq's oil-for-food program through illegal oil contracts and kickback deals with private suppliers of food and medicine.
