 and another thing...

Iraq has been subjected to a totalitarian regime since July 1968, when Saddam Hussein seized power in the name of the Ba'th Party. Since then Saddam has plundered the resources of this nation for both internal and external aggression. Iraq is a wealthy nation with plentiful oil resources, but the Iraqi regime chooses to use those resources for violence. Iraq devoted 37.9% of its oil money to military expenditures in 1975, 75% in 1980, 177% in 1985, and 89% in 1989.

In 1980 and 1991, Iraq invaded two of its neighbors. The war against Iran, lasted from September 1980 to August 1988, during which hundreds of thousands died on both sides, and Saddam used chemical weapons on numerous occasions.

In August 1991 Saddam plunged Iraqis into a second war. The destruction on Iraq by the allied bombing and invasion, and the sanctions regime imposed as a result of the Iraqi leadership's policies, has killed an unknown number of civilians, set back Iraq's development by decades, and reduced an otherwise wealthy nation to a state of poverty.

Saddam is also responsible for a long history of internal repression against the Iraqi people. Mass murder, execution, torture, "disappearances," rape, and forced deportation are all used against real or imagined enemies to the state. In 1975, the Saddam waged his first war against the Kurdish citizens of Iraq, and in 1987, the regime carried out the notorious "Anfal" campaign that killed thousands of Kurds, with 100,000-180,000 more deemed "disappeared". In 1988 the regime used chemical weapons against the Kurdish town of Halabja, killing over 5,000 civilians and wounding thousands more.

In March 1991, immediately following the Gulf war, the Iraqi regime turned its Republican Guard units against citizens who had risen in rebellion against the regime - partly at the urging of the Allies. But without support form Allied forces, most of these people were massacered by Saddam's forces. In the south, the regime's defense minister bragged that the Republican Guard had killed 300,000 people.

Human rights abuses by the state are practiced daily in Iraq, against all sectors of the population indiscriminately. The prisons are overflowing, and the regime periodically conducts "prison-cleaning": mass executions to reduce the population of inmates. Officers and officials are executed regularly for their alleged involvement in conspiracies. In 1993, the International Commission of Jurists said that the human rights situation inside Iraq is worse than any country since the end of World War II.

your time trying to point out the facts to these pacifists. They are not concerned with the welfare of the Iraq people. As long as France has its oil contracts and the Germans continue their trade deals, they will continue to support Saddam.
The truth of the matter is that they know that we will uncover unGodly acts of terror and made in France/Germany on many prohibited technologies and materials. Thankfully, most of Europe is behind us. Many of the eastern states still
have fresh memories of what it is like to live under oppression and brutality. Even if they were behind us, what assistance can they provide? France has a single defective carrier and the Germans are only slightly better equipped. I have read
where they resent the fact that we are a "hyper-power". The truth is that they resent us because we remind them just how gutless they are. It is not Americas military equipment that makes us powerful, it is the "balls" to do what needs to be done.

the truth of the matter is as pointed out earlier - it ws the americans in the first place who funded saddam against his wars in iran as well as provide him with the technology and finance for chemical as well as biological weapons - germany france supporting saddam??? what the hell are you talking about - you obviously have got no idea. the whole thing is a joke - america is not concerned about the wellfare of anybody but themselves ... who will get the oil when america marches in ???? wake up - germany and france having contracts with iraque - what planet are you living on. facts are - yes the humanitarian situation in iraque is terrible - so lets go in and bomb them back to stoneage, that will surely help the iraqui population - america the hero of the hour, her to safe the world - not! America is breaching and has been breaching un resolutions in the past - iraque does and gets bombed for it. America has been funding (Osama Bin Laden, Southamerica, Africa ...) and is funding terrorism - Iraque, even experts doubt that there are direct links between al kaida and iraque - but iraque gets bombed.

Fact, the French is the largest supplier of convention arms to Iraq.
Fact, the French has sold them over 20 billion in Mirage fighter aircraft.
Fact, Chirac has has been Saddam's buddy since the 1970's.
Fact, Chirac signed the deal for Saddam to build a nuclear power plant.

I could go on, but I know that you will only disregard these facts and
choose to believe only the anti-American propaganda.

p.s any relation to the Sesame Street character? It would explain your
low grade kid analytical skills.

1. I did not say that france or any party involved have a clean white shirt - all the nations involved have been digging in the dirt as it were. I find it rather hypocritical that one of the nations who has been funding terrorism on a large scale world-wide, who has been in breech of UN-resolutions, and which is about to be in breech of international law is shouting the loudest.

2. Very democratic - if someone does not do exactly as we want them we put pressure on them - as in the case sanctions against germany - but hey what do you expect, America is probably the only democracy were the candidate with 500.000 less votes wins!

3. America has still not come up with any plan, what it will do afterwards - sth. they probably don't really know themselves - bush just waffles, without giving any content - pure propaganda. 'He is running out of patience'(is that maybe the american analytical skills you were referring to?), well so I am with my neighbour, I might just go down and shoot him this afternoon!

4. America disregards all other voices, even from all the experts around the world as well as within America, who predict not only a humanitarian catastrophy but also the fact that war with Iraque will destabilize the whole gulf region even more, does do nothing in the war against terrorism (the real threat), weakens the UN, and probably will very likely aggrevate the whole muslim world (but hey - america can then just bomb the next nation and then the next and so on) furthering extremism. sorry but bush has far too many military advisors - and of course they want war.

5. This is about hegemony - or more precisely american hegemony. what really worries me is the 'missionray' zealousy of american policy and especially foreign policy. to refer back to point number 4 - where will this lead to ??? probably to american military occupation around the world - pax america, the new roman empire

6. I am not generally anti-american, in fact i have got very good american friends, but i am anti-american-imperialism and foreign policy. you may disagree, fine, but i am entitled to my views - maybe sth. that (and I just assume you are) as an american are not to.
