Sorry, but i really don't understand. Stop twisting facts, please. Just because Saddam Hussein is a freaking moron, you believe it's okay to sanction the entire country. Well, sorry, but Dubya being a freaking moron does not mean that it's alright to kill American children for that. Study the reports that i have posted in this forum ten billion times before you state that Saddam Hussein was responsible for the killings caused due to the sanctions. As i have stated in this forum to all of the American guppies, it was not the primary fault of Hussein's regime. If you aren't going to be bothered to read that up on your own on UN websites, then this discussion might as well stop at this point.

And he did hinder the work of weapons inspectors and threw them out.

How conveniently you didn't refer to my point about which country was harassing Blix and his team to leave the country. Which govt. was showing a lack of patience towards Blix ? Any guesses ?

Of course, one would assume he did this since he had something to hide.

oh yes, one would assume this because afterall we have discovered heaps and heaps of evidence of biological, nuclear and chemical weapons right? They're all sitting all over Baghdad, i saw the pictures on BBC this morning. All the evidence that was claimed to be there, is there. Right ?

*But do you care about the half a million or so Iraqis killed by Saddam? *
[/QUOTE]

Are you for real ? Half a million were killed by the US, due to their endorsement of the genocidal sanctions regime. Please stop believing everything you read on the State Department website. United Nations reports contain a tad bit more objectivity and less bias.

Saddam was a monster created by an another monster known as USA. Saddam inflicted immense harm on his and neighbouring countries through waging reasonless wars. Iran and Kwait have been two big victims of his psychopathic mental disorder. And not to forget that he has been in cahoots with USA and had full support of yanks in all his misdeeds. Dictators are easy to manipulate, that's why they have always been the first choice of yanks.

On the WMD bit.. who was it that was acting like they were hiding something? “Oh, we know exactly where Saddam’s WMD are, we just can’t tell you. Sources & Methods, y’know.”

Sources & Methods, eh? Then why am I able to read this in the Washington Post?
The United States is preparing to significantly raise its estimate of the number of nuclear weapons held by North Korea, from “possibly two” to at least eight, according to U.S. officials involved in the preparation of the report. … Among the evidence used in making the assessment is a detailed analysis of plutonium byproducts found on clothing worn by members of an unofficial U.S. delegation that was allowed to visit North Korean nuclear facilities several months ago.
That sounds like sources & methods kinda talk?? Why can we disclose details here, but not regarding Iraq? Could it be that we were bluffing? Why would we possibly do that :konfused:

Maybe because we don't have any details to "disclose" to begin with, vis-a-vis Iraq.
