Isn't this akin to locking someone up because they were 'thinking' about committing a crime? What gives us the right to insist on over-flying other soverign nations when we would not tolerate the same. According to our way of thinking, Sadam is a madman. According to the thinking in the middle east, we are the mad man and are bent on world conquest. There are two sides to every issue and I have yet to hear anything other than commentaries and editorials from talking heads to make me believe that Sadam is actually planning to attack the US. Yes, he attacked Kuwait and yes, the Saudis helped finance the mission that drove his troops back. That is not, however, proof that he is plotting to destroy anything on our shores. The middle east has been one of the most turbulent places on earth for as long as there has been history. What makes us so bent on empire building that we think it is up to us to decide who rules and what form of government other countries have when we would not tolerate the same from others?
Oh that's right .. he doesn't want to cause any trouble
He didn't really mean to kill thousand and thousands of his OWN people ..
He didn't think those chemicals would kill people when he tested them out
Noooooooooooooooooo .. Saddam is a realllly nice guy who meant no harm .. it was just an accident and he didn't really mean it when he declare war on Americans .. he was just misunderstood
GET REAL
