RESPONSE: How could Saddam show WMD's that are not there? Even a primary school kid could be foxed by such a preposterous question that you put to us.The WMD's were decommissioned and in reality were not of such a magnitude as made out by the USA. That he used it against the Kurds did not mean he had tons of it. > Secondly, if you had looked up the war resolution > authorizing the liberation of Iraq you would know that > there were several reasons for the action other than > WMDs, including the need to depose Saddam and impose > freedom and democracy.

RESPONSE: poppycock, you will follow Bush blindly; what you do not answer on this Goanet is whether you would urge your progeny to do battle. You are full of praise for combating US troops - you should urge your kids to go there and do their bit. > What you are truly sad about it seems to me is that a > brutal dictator who was governing by terrorizing the > majority of Iraqis, killing his own people and looting > his own treasury, has been deposed. RESPONSE: Again you are bringing us down to your level - primary school stuff - there is not one of us on this goanet site that loves Saddam; I would state though that there are not many of us that would follow George Bush or your view either! > > Gabe writes: > > Everyday we hear of dozens of people being killed in > Iraq and we are told to be patient as this same sort > of thing took place after WW II in the reconstruction > of Japan and Germany.

RESPONSE: Yes I know you don't care, nor does your President. What I am stating is that you are the one who plainly stated that peace would not come to Iraq in a short while and it would take time. You seem to have a lapse of memory perhaps when it suits or perhaps when you have no other avenue to turn to, like a cornered dog staving off the inevitable - being torn to pieces by the opposition. -- Cheers, Gabe Menezes.
