kevin "some communist groups even chastized "the Left" for condemning Saddam Hussein (something folks like ABCDxxxx claims never happened). "
Huh? I don't think I've ever addressed that particular issue...I HAVE mentioned the contradiction in leftists working alongside these same communist groups. I'm not so concerned with who chastizes who within the "the left" nearly as much as I am with the Left's reluctance to recognize and chastize Saddam for who he was. One should learn to express arguments against the war without feeling the need to showcase pro-Saddam sentiments, such as how he gives "free education" or provided a good sanitation system.
Kevin - "Bin Laden had declared war on America, and was also a top operative for one of the largest terror networks in the world. This makes him more of a likely target, IMO. "
Are you saying Saddam never has declared war on America? He was a top leader of an oppresive Middle Eastern regime that aided some of the largest networks in the world. It makes him a likely suspect.
Kevin - "Question, no problem. Declare a factual link? Big problem. "
Fine, but you're saying it's suspect because it was brought up.
Kevin "Eeverybody said it and meant it prior to 1998. But that was then, this is now, and things change..... "
What's changed since 1998? Certainly not the policies Saddam employed nor his abuse of the food for oil program. We haven't been able to prove the existance of WMD within Iraq...but can you prove WMD or the chemicals to make them weren't stored in Syrian controlled Lebanon?
