Spinning a lie Carter? I have said nothing about being against the disarming
Iraq of whatever WDM's it has.

Do I believe the US and other countries (both pro-war and anti-war) are
being hypocritical? Damn right. It is blatantly idiotic to willfully ignore
how and when Iraq got these WDM's.

Not at all. The conclusion you have assumed is wrong. I guess it must be
those pro-war blinkers.

It is amazing that the US says it will institute democracy in Iraq the war
the US wants, yet its Arab allies are not democratic countries themselves.
Saudi Arabia harbours former Ugandan dictator Idi Amin. Surely some one like
that should be tried at the World Court. And why not Saddam Hussein?

You're assumption was dreadfuly wrong. I would suggest that if I am out of
touch with reality then you are standing shoulder to shoulder with me.

What this Iraq issue boils down to is Saddam Hussien hasn't been the US'
sonofabitch in the Middle East since the invasion of Kuwait in 1990. However
he was the US' sonofabitch in the 1980's when many of his crimes were
committed INCLUDING the chemical attacks inflicted on the Kurds. And for two
after that US companies were still helping the Iraqi dictator develope
WDM's, namely nuclear weapons.
