Jeanette - "Saddam is (was?) a secular pan-Arab nationalist, no an Islamic fundamentalist. If he used rhetoric like "infidels", it was only to appeal to the Iraqi people. "

I was actually talking about Bin Laden's two faced ability to work alongside his enemies, including Saddam. While Saddam might have run a "secular pan-Arab nationalist" government (and how secular was it if every religion outside of Islam was persecuted?) He himself has put up a strong Muslim identity.and that's a pretty strong message in a "my way goes" dictatorship.

Jeanette "I am aware that he gives money to the families of suicide bombers. What else does he do?"

Ask Abu Nidal.


Seth - "But Israel is the center of the universe!!!! What else IS there to do?"

Go read the message board rules and come back when you can add something pertinant to this conversation.

Vince, you need a brush up yourself, because it makes your argument sound idiotic the second you start talking about people's families and gas chambers. Stop it.
