Aldaron, I read your latest post after I posted mine. I repeat: yes, you have a very good point in this. And I admire your point of view: you say, more or less, "who cares if someone is waging this for OIL? At the end, the Iraqi people will be better." How could I counter this? I don't even want to, because I'm not here to the sake of discussion, but to confront. And you are right on this point. Is a good point of view. What scares me is the statement "they will be dealt with". How many wars again? Already plans for Iran, Syria and North Korea? Hm, attention there... NKorea has the WMD for real, not like Saddam Hussein. NKorea is not a puppet-monster, is a real one. And yes, Hussein had the chemicals because we Westerners gave them to him. He was a hero, remember? He was fighting Khomeini. And Bin Laden and the Talibans? Heroes, remember? They were fighting the USSR in Afghanistan. So, Saddam Hussein had the chemicals and the uranium. HAD. We ceased to provide him with these toys, he doens't have the toys anymore. It's really simple as that. My country provided him, your country provided him, peaceful (?) France provided him. But, hey, I'm not defending this guy. I can't care less if he dies. Oh, well, maybe I will be even happy. And I really don't want to go in a place where the discussion get heated. I want to reason. Maybe argue, if necessary, and maybe use irony and strong words, but I want to read your postings and be able to say: "Hey, Aldaron, you have a good point" without being blinded by dialectic rage. So, I'll stay here. Thanx for this exchange, Aldaron. Stefano
