	Lots of questions. I'm not going to attempt answering everything. Most of 
this is opinion and as such I'm not going to try for anywhere near a 
complete justification. Before I proceed I remember hearing somewhere (I 
think it may have been on the radio) the best way to think of the whole 
situation is as if the crusades never ended...

	I don't consider it overwhelming. I'd prefer some of my Arabic speaking 
friends get in touch and tell me what they think of the tapes. Apart 
from the large organisations I've heard hints some of the tapes may have 
been altered.

	True. CNN reported some of the local tribes were also using the US 
bombing to settle old disputes.

	Two points here. I think the pilot was a scapegoat. He was given the OK 
to drop the bombs. He wasn't even told by the AWAC there were training 
exercises in this well known training area.

	The second point is about the cops. Take a look at what happened at Kent 
State. More recently look at the APEC and GXX summits.

	I seem to remember that as well.

	The current one he is bothered about is the Homeland Security Office (the 
American Gestapo).

	Neither have I. The talk on the news is for a "first strike". In the past 
Hussein has not been the nicest person on the planet. I don't think it 
is the business of the Americans or anybody else to make the political 
decisions for another country. I also think the Kurds in the North and 
tribes living in the swamps to the South should be allowed to separate 
their land from Iraq because of the evil way Hussein has treated them.

	Yes.

	CNN used to have the occasional report from inside Iraq. Of course this 
is now just as likely as not to be censored.

	Hang around the universities. Ask the foreign students. You may need to 
learn another language but it would be a whole lot better than watching 
the US networks all the time.

	A scapegoat probably being courtmarshalled.

	Yes.

	This was answered in another message. Hussein is not a nice guy.

	No. I think the buddies of the VP just thought they could get away with 
theft.

	Even before that. So was Iran until the Shah was overthrown.

> PPS.. Thanks in advance.

	Here is something to think about. BTW, you may have to do some hunting to 
find the actual information. Early on, Hussein claims the US gave Iraq 
permission to invade Kuwait. I think I remember an interview where an 
Iraqi representative said the timing was the idea of the US. At first 
the Americans denied the meeting. Later they got caught when a secretary 
spoke out. Then they denied the contents of the conversation. 
Coincidentally this was on Bush Sr.s watch. Another coincidence is he is 
an "oilman".

	FYI, I don't think badly of the Americans. I think they are victims of 
special interest propaganda. It looks as though something big is in the 
works and the "special interests" are looking to grab as much control as 
they can before it happens.
