What is most horrible is that they have been known, well known, by the heads of states like France, Germany and Russia. This reveals much about the hearts of these leaders.

Does that include Reagan, who subsidized Saddam?

To Post @ 38. I listened to an interview with an Iraqui exhile the other night with Greta. He spoke of Saddam in the early days. This guy was one of Saddam's nuke builders. He ran after the nuke plant was bombed. But, he spoke that in the beginning Saddam was a nice guy. Was not that mean or brutal. He said as time went on, Saddam changed and got worse and worse. Since I don't know and this guy lived there and suffered it, I will take his word for it. But, he said Saddam was ok back in the very beginning. That was back when we chose the side of Iraq over that of Iran who was holding our people thanks to the stupidity of Jimmy Carter. So, at some point you take sides. In this case we took sides over the lesser of the two evils. That way, you hope to neutralize one of them and you can take care of the other one yourself. But, the Iraq-Iran war kind of ended in a tie.

Actually, I read a story here yesterday that mentioned the breakdown, percentage wise, of arms suppliers to Iraq over the last thirty years. It read:

Russia(USSR) 58%
France 14%
China 12%

United States <1%
UK almost none at all

Brazil had more than the US and UK combined. Again, this lie is repeated by the left almost as much as the Supreme Court gave the election to Bush. If anyone else read that post too cold you post the link.
