If Saddam Hussein hadn’t been forcefully removed and executed there wouldn’t be a calamity in the middle east.
He kept things in check in Iraq. He may have been a brutal dictator, but he didn’t present any problems until Bush I prodded and tempted him. His planes kept Iraq in check by bombing Tehran regularly. Christians and Jews alike were protected by Saddam.
Then, along comes Bush II.
I am so sick and tired of hearing about WMD unless it is applied where it correctly belongs....in Iran wherein lives the current rat in the White Hut’s soul brothers.
Now what America doesn’t need is yet another Bush OR a Clinton.
I couldn't agree more. Obviously it's too late now to replay that move, but taking Saddam Hussein down, his nastiness notwithstanding, was a monumental error.
[[but he didn’t present any problems until Bush I prodded and tempted him.]]
Hmmm, tell that to the 1000’s of people he murdered- tortured, lit on fire, sent through shredder machines ALIVE- hung from meat hooks and beaten until they died- - tell that to the 1000’s of young gradeschool girls his sons raped- on and on it goes- But alas- it didn’t affect tyou personally, so ‘no big deal’ eh?
Iraqis who were fortunate enough to escape stood before congress many times begging us to stop this modern day hitler- Apparently you would have told them to STFU huh?
