It is quite obvious that you have no understanding whatsoever of either
Saddam's bloodsoaked history or of his Saladinic ambitions. He ain't a
fucking 'live and let live' cuddlebunny!
I'm sure that Saddam did not like our kicking him out of Kuwait, not did
he appreciate our interfering with his slaughter of Kurds and Shiites or
our dismantling of his army and many of his WMD's (he's endeavoring
to rebuild them, and add nukes, so that he can repeat the same moves
with greater success). But most of our incursions in the area have
liberated (Kuwait, Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan) or fed (Somalia)
MUSLIMS! Their problems with us are clearly outlined in the rest of the
Bernard Lewis article, as well as the one I posted labeled "Al Quaeda's
Fantasy Ideology". It would well behoove you to educate yourself
somewhat be reading them in their entirety.
