"...We can bring our troops home and reassure the world that America defends her own. Not the Kuwaiti King, or the Saudi princes...We Americans have no dog in this fight."
Say what? This maniac has not only been gassing Kurds, he's been funding the murder of American toddlers. What papers do you read? How in God's name do you think we don't have a POODLE in this fight?

Kurds are not Americans. When maniacal Hutus hacked to death tens of thousands of Tutsis in Rwanda America didn't have a dog in that fight either.

Are you happy to learn that your government provided Hussien the materials, at U.S. taxpayer expense, to develop and deploy these weapons? Seems like more interventionism coming back to bite us in the ass. First we build these monsters, then we get to knock them down.

he's been funding the murder of American toddlers.

You'll need to explain that one a little better. The embargo we've placed on the Iraqi people (in an unsuccessful bid to get their dictator to bend to our will) has resulted in a massive increase in infant mortality rates. In the more than ten year period we've held sanctions in place over 500,000 Iraqi children have died that wouldn't have without the embargo in place. The Iraqi people are being made to suffer not only at the hands of Saddam, but the world at large. Do you think it hurts him when more children die before the age of 1 in Iraq? It's clear he doesn't care about his subjects, but we hurt them to pressure him?
