That explains why the Germans are acting the way they are!

It does but in balance it must be remembered that the USA built up Iraqs weapons stockpiles during the 80's and early 90's before the gulf war. That is how we know Iraq has anthrax, vx gas and other biological and chemical agents now. Supposedly most of these were destroyed after the gulf war. It appears the sanctions and embargos have been circumvented by several nations hoping to cash in economically and the discovery of their activities is like finding the smoking gun in their own backyard. Somebody got some 'splanin to do.

I know we were on the side of Iraq in the Iraq/Iran war. What bothers me is anything that was done after the Gulf War. That is unforgiveable IMHO!

I don't believe that is true that we built up Iraq's weapons stockpiles during the 80's and 90's. Iraq was getting their weapons from the Soviet Union and France. Remember all those tanks we blew up, those were Soviet tanks. Likewise with Hussein's air force, it was all Soviet and French made. If you have a link that says differently, I would like to see it because I do not think we supplied them with weapons. We gave them tactical assistance during the war with Iran, but I believe that was about it.
