Jon, you said a number of things about saddam.
"He used chemical weapons on the kurds."
the CIA says it was Iran and not iraq.
"He forces civillians to fight"
He uses the draft. it's been done before by the usa when deemed neccessary. why is it only wrong when saddam does it?
"He kills iraqi civillians"
So does .
So Saddam is bad, but on two counts out of three, the US is just as bad. and as for the chemical weapons of the 80's, well. the us dropped the bomb.
