This is the thinking of cowards. Saddam did not plot 9/11, the Saudis did. Saddam did not finance the terrorists, the Saudis did. Saddam did not preach hate of Christians and Jews, the Saudis did. Saddam never dreamed about converting the world to Islam, the Saudis do. Saddam did not hate Christians, the Saudis do.

If our government had the guts to tackel this hateful monster without creating the impression of Christianity invading and killing Islam; we would have been better of. The longer we wait, or ignor taking on that number one enemy the more we appear to be putting our ignorant heads in the sand.

It is very similar of a big guy beating you, and you go and kick his dog, or beat on his little sister. If you really have the guts, go to the big guy, bloody his f--ing nose.

To clarify:

I do not care whether Saddam Hussein was directly responsible for the crashing of planes into WTC and the Pentagon, and a patch of ground in Pennsylvania. The base of Saddam's power in Iraq was the Sunni Muslims, intellectually closely tied to Wahhabism and Muslim militancy, and while there was little love between Saddam and the House of Saud, their objective was much the same - keep the influences of the West at bay, so the Islamic culture would not be contaminated.

Saddam simply repressed his countrymen, with a savagery exceeding that of Josef Stalin or Adolf Hitler, and approaching that of Pot Pol in Cambodia. Was Saddam Hussein one of the good guys? There was plenty of good rational and compelling reasons why Saddam should be taken out. One of these reasons was that Saddam was probably more vulnerable in March 2003, than he would be six months, or a year later. Another is that we have a base right next door to both Saudi Arabia and Iran, with a veiled threat to both these countries that if the horse feces does not stop, we have only a short air flight with very high-yield conventional weapons at our disposal, that could do enormous damage on limited areas.

Saddam was never our prime objective. He was merely our wedge to establish a firm base in the region.

And a definite plus, all the militant jihad warriors from everywhere in the world are drawn to the killing fields in the Sunni Triangle. If they are there, they are not making mischief somewhere else. And when they are all in one place, it is easier to deal with them.

Our kill ratio of Jihad to the coalition forces is still vastly favorable to our side.
