That's a bizarre statement in and of itself, considering that the complaint we had against Saddam Hussein was his invasion of Kuwait.
Please grab a clue. What I meant was I didn't make my decision to back the Gulf War based on some emir telling tales of fake atrocities. Your posts in this thread seem to indicate that you think it's "bizarre" if people want to go to war without being lied to first, and you also seem to have trouble believing the very real atrocities committed by some of the most evil regimes in human history. If you'll go back to my earlier post, you will find a whole list of times that horrible atrocities were dismissed as propaganda. Even if the ones Ivan posted here were crap there is ample evidence that Hussein has done things every bit as bad for a long time. Like I said, one emir tells some fibs and you're going to discount every torture story you hear after that? Hardly logical.
