...and within 12 hours the Baath party issued a statement saying they will hit America hard.

So says the voice of moral certitude.
Pathetic; how many people were executed for the organized slaughter on the road to Basra in 1991? History's written by the winners.
or as Bertrand Russell put it "War is not about who is right, but about who is left."

All the Americans did was find Hussein and hand him over to the Iraqi authorities...The Iraqi's did the right thing hanging the b*stard...He is lucky he went that way...I'm sure the yanks would have prefered to have just tied him to a post in Basra and let the Shia's have their way with him!!!

Not strictly true is it? I think you will find they also invaded his country with no legal reason and proped up the iraqi government and kangaroo court which found him guilty.

sorry - but Yes...The Iraqi Government were at least voted in by a majority of the population...Unlike ours and the US Governments!
? Turnout by independent electoral observers was put at around 50% Some areas had their elections abandoned because of low turnout or security and some did not receive their materials.
The ruling party did not get a majority of the population, just a majority of those who voted. This can hold in democracy but it isnt an emphatic mandate....just as we know in this country.

I thought Tony told us that the reason we were going into Iraq was because of WMD, not to change the regime. Surely if were changing bad regimes we would have sorted out Zimbabwe, Sudan, Somalia, N Korea etc etc.
Or is it just countries that have lots of oil that we "sort out?"
Like I've said before, I'm no fan of Saddam, but what we have done is create one big huge f***ing nightmare by going into another country to try & impose our will.
I've been involved in conflicts,where I felt that we were on the side of what was right, but this was all wrong & we were lied to. History will show that Saddam was an evil dictator & history will also show that many more people died under an occupation that is just wrong.
I feel sorry for our troops & hope they come home safe & I feel sorry for the Iraqi people.
Sermon over. (I hope we win at West Ham)

Totally agree. To go to war for the reasons given was wrong, to go to war for the reasons given without any post-war strategy beggars belief. I heard somewehre that this is the first time the UK has gone into combar on military intelligence alone. If this is true it is a shocking precident.
