He threatened Israel as well. Although he was never directly linked to Al Queda, he did fund and support other terrorist groups that were causing trouble throughout the world and were a potential threat to the United States. He was gathering scientists, equipment and materials to build a nuclear weapons program. Bill Clinton, John Kerry, and even Jimmy Carter all made statements during the Clinton administration that they were aware of Hussein's doings and something needed to be <BR/>done. Hussein mistreated his citizens terribly. Most of them lived in horrible conditions. <BR/>You could say that most of Iraq was like the most gang-infested slum in America. The gang lords then, are the insurgents now. The U.S. is taking their power away and they are fighting to get it back. <BR/><BR/>I'm saying all this because you and others conveniently forget all this. Bush had reasons to go to war. We owed it to our ally Israel. We owed it to the rest of the world to take a horrible human being out of power. There are more solid reasons for the war <BR/>and I'll give you them if you want.<BR/><BR/>Before I go any further, I want to say that despite all this, I personally don't agree that we should have made war with Iraq. This is for the sole reason that I do not believe it is right for America to take such an offensive stand where the threat was so apparently ambiguous. <BR/><BR/>Just because I disagree with the war doesn't mean I equate Bush with Hitler. If I use your <BR/>form of argument, then Franklin Roosevelt was also this evil since he didn't take a simple <BR/>defensive stand. He sent troops to be killed overseas as well and a lot more died in that <BR/>war. Hey, more Americans died in the Civil War than in any other war so maybe Abraham Lincoln was Hitler too.<BR/><BR/>Hitler blamed an entire ethnic group for the problems of Germany and systematically attempted to completely obliterate the Jews. Over 6 million died. What is the Bush equivalent of this?<BR/><BR/>Hitler invaded passive countries to permanently take over and add to Germany's real estate. I don't see Iraq as becoming the 51'st state.<BR/><BR/>Hitler bombed London with the specific intention to kill civilians. Iraqi civilians have been killed in the war, as this inevitably, happens in all wars. But they are not being targeted.<BR/><BR/>Hitler was chancellor for life. We've got Bush for 3 more years.<BR/><BR/>I know if I believed my president was a Hitler, I would take my family and any willing friends and promptly leave this country. This would be the responsible thing to do. Seems to me that if you truly believe that Bush is the equivalent of Hitler, then you are revealing you have low character in staying and allowing yourself and your family to be subjected to such tyranny.<BR/><BR/>Free Saddam Hussein and convict George Bush.

They simply cannot attack the truth. You have the right to believe that we shouldn't be in this war but you have no right to call Bush a liar when he wasn't.<BR/><BR/>What does the election mean in Iraq? Answer: A hell of a lot. Americans should be beaming with pride and many are. The Sunnis, who did not vote in the previous election and got burned politically for that, now see the light and are voting this time. This is huge! With all the trouble Iran is going to cause us, as well as all the other strife that goes on in that part of the world, a democratic ally in addition to Israel is very significant.<BR/><BR/>The liberal media seems to be tiptoeing through the election. The L.A. Time's relatively small front page article is rather negative. Senator Joe Biden calls the election a tentative first step towards progress in Iraq. (I guess ousting Saddam Hussein wasn't that big a deal to him.)Robert E Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18391581467677241611noreply@blogger.com
