I'm going to go a bit further on this subject because the moral goodness that Bush stands behind just doesnt wash with me.

Additionally to Saddam, there is a long list of other brutal and tyrannical governments, past and present. But of course, they were U.S. approved, or did not affect the vital interests of the states and could therefore be safely ignored.

During the war against Iran, the U.S. supplied Iraq with armaments and the wherewithal to produce poison gas for use on the Iranians. A umber of African countries have been invaded and are still at war but their misfortune is that they do not have any oil.

Yes, Sadam slaughtered thousands of Shiite and Kurdish Iraqis with poison gas left over from the Iran War, in a revolt that was encouraged by the U.S. who then sat back and watched the slaughter from a distance.

So you see, the Americans are portraying themselves as such a peace loving nation yet time again they have interfered in the politics of other countries. One day it will backfire on them to the point that there will be no going back.
