Lets not forget who helped Sadaam gain the power he eventually mis-used..the UNITED STATES was once a big time supporter of this maniac;
Once he started acting on his own, we decided we no longer supported him..

Talk about being 2- faced...

Don't get me wrong, I am glad he is out of power, and he deserves to hang by his testicles for the atrocities he commited against women and children..
But, even though I supported the war initially, its obvious to me now, that the longer we stay there, the more the Muslim world will unite in their hatred for America and the Western world in general..I mean, if there was NO OIL in them there hills, does anyone with even 1/2 of an IQ actually think we would be there?

thats what aggravates the hell out of me; the way we choose who we "care" to support in the world..If you don't have something that benefiits the USA, we don't really care about your dictatorships, your genocides, and the atrocities comitted against your own people...Somalia, Bosnia, we all know the long long list of countries with similarly murderous leaders, that we took our sweet time in helping, or didn't even bother with at all...

Its easy to understand why so many around the world no longer trust the USA...

I don't think that's all that big a deal. Sure we supported him...as well as Bin Laden. But people are people. They do their own things and act their own way.

If a child who is brought up in a good home with great parents decides to become a mass-murderer, do you expect the parents to back his efforts? Conversely, if a child grows up in a bad home with bad parents, are the parents' to blame?

I think not. Personal accountability is the key and it is lacking in many places. You don't need religion to know what is right or wrong. I could care less if the President of the United States goes to worship EVERY DAY. Just because a person goes to church services does not make him or her a religious person. We, as humans--individuals, are imperfect.

I'm sorry, but I still can't find any other uses for methyl phosphonyl difluoride then it's use in chemical warfare... if I've been lied to by the media and Amnesty International I'd like to know.
