Proof of the connection between Al Qaeda and Saddam's regime.

G.W.B in no resembles Hitler! And for one I am very angry that Bush didn't do more to protect America from terrorism as exposed in the film Fahrenheit 9/11, but I am not going to condemn him when he actualy does something right for a change like take on Saddam Hussein, who I thought should have been finished off long ago at the end of the first Gulf War.

The anti-war brigade seem to be made up of people who seem to think that just because America and Britain were wrong in the past they shouldn't be allowed to be right in the future. They kept using the flawed arguments - "But America and Britain armed Saddam". Or "why overthrow Saddam when America and Britain still support other brutal regimes such as Suadi Arabia". None of those arguments though justify not overthrowing Saddam, those arguments merely call for consistancy in foreign policy which I believe there should be. I agree America and Britain are hypocritical supportting other dictators as bad as Saddam. They should be against all brutal dictators and not just ones they fall out with. But you can't critise them for doing something positive like overthrowing a brutal dictator!

 

You reckon, huh?

 

Laughing out loud! Would Hitler have a black defence minister like Colin Powell and send billions of dollars a year in aid to Israel?

 

Yeah, if he'd been American

 

'
That's good point.

The US have sent more aid to Israel than any other country over the last few years.(by a long, long way)

Bear in mind, that Israel IS NOT (by any means) the most needy of this aid in comparison... It begs the question "why did they send so much aid to Israel over other more needy countries?"

The answer is pretty obvious to me... but what's your take on it?

 

Maybe because Israel has such a massive defence budget due to the fact that for 56 years neighbouring arab countries and arab terrorist groups have tried so hard to destroy it. Israel therefore needs protection to prevent its population being either massacred or displaced. Plus Israel is a vital ally in the war against terrorism in the region which breeds Islamic fundamentalist terrorism, so America sees Israel as a counterweight to Islamic terrorism. Once a lasting peace settlement is achieved and international terrorism has been defeated then American aid to Israel will deminish.

 

I think you'll find that's when the regions oil runs out.

International terrorism my arse..

 

Why Mr Zonk! I hope you're not suggesting that America would ever act to protect it's financial interests and not just out of the goodness of its Disney-sized heart?!?! Shame on you! *wags finger*

 

Gosh and darn it, never!

We all know that a thousand pound bomb does wonders for a childs education! Especially the ones painted with Mickey Mouse on that were dropped on Baghdad signed 'a present from New York'.

Fucking vermin!:$

 

I'm glad to see you've seen sense! Obviously a child with no legs will read more (let's face it, the wog.... umm... I mean child.... can't do much else!), thus one can see how bombs obviously have a beneficial effect on education.

 

My God! Have we found the connection between Al Qaeda and Saddam's regime? The children are all a funny brown colour?

Must remember to refrain from ramming my fist down republican/torie's big gobs in future....now that we're in the know!!

 

Apparently Hitler was a little bit more than pissed off when a few black dudes won all those medals at the 1934 olympics in Germany ... However the historical links between Hitler and Bush are easier to find than links between Al Qaeda and Iraq.

Oooh! You supply Tshirts? Got any nice baggy XL one?

 

I know its crude to compair brutal dictators of today with Hitler but the lessons are still relevent. For example those in power in the 1930s choose negotiation and appeasement instead of direct confrontation all in the interests of "peace" and look where it got them. I have great admiration for Nevil Chamberlin for trying to broker a peace deal with Hitler but unfortunatly it failed. Just weeks after the historic "peace in our time" treaty signed by Hilter and Chamberlin he invaded Poland. I see George Galloway as a latter day Nevil Chamberlin who tried to negotiate a peace deal with Saddam. But history has taught us that these dictators cannot be trusted.

I think despite all the difficulties resulting from the war that the basic principle of standing up to Saddam was right. It was right because it sent a clear message to every despot that they are not above international law and international justice. That in itself will make the world a safer place in the long run. For example for years Milosevic thought he could do as he pleased, but now he in on trial for war crimes. Saddam will face trial for crimes against humanity soon aswell.

 

The problem with your analogy is that Saddam was entirely contained. He posed no threat. His military was in tatters. He couldn't have invaded a sandbox. Hardly the same thing as the might of Germany's industrial machine gearing up to create the most awesome military machine the world had ever seen in the run-up to WWII, is it?
