If Saddam faces military trial in the US, I wonder if he will face charges for crimes committed pre-1988 when a senior US official (I think it was Sec State at the time but am not certain) described him as 'a son of a b*tch, but our son of a b*tch'?
So, who is next on the list of the 'Axis of Evil'?
The British certainly have a different perspective
on Iraq than we do? Wonder who has a better
grasp of reality?

Metzger said:At one time or another Saddam provided big name terrorists with shelter, money, training camps, equipment,etc. He has showed us he will use chemical weapons on anybody ie Iranians and Kurds. It was just a matter of time before he got nukes or gave WMD to terrorists if they don't have them already from him. Getting rid of him is what I would call preventive maintenace. Talking about Mugabe and oil is a pretty moot argument because he has never been known to give foreign terrorists aid.
While I don't like the idea of US troops getting killed in Iraq. I would take the lessor of two evils. It is known that terrorists are going to Iraq and that would be a better thing than these same terrorists sneaking into the US. It's better to have one suicide bomber kill 1 US soldier in Iraq than the same bomber kill hundreds or thousands on Mainstreet USA. Of course, you people would rather complain since you get to drive your gas guzzling SUVs, know you have your 3 meals a day, and don't have to live in fear of death for saying something bad about the government.
