Then it deviates from fact/history to opinion - and to elements that are total crap - then on to the writer's agenda.

Can't be bothered replying in detail - but will attempt two aspects..



True Saddam has no connection whatsoever to 9/11 - why mention it?? There is no evidence Saddam was supporting any "terrorist movement for decades". He was engaged by the US to assassinate democratically elected members of the Iranian government - and chosen for this task because he was a known thug. The US had no qualms about him murdering people - nevermind labelling him a terrorist.

Saddam was then equipped/funded by the US to engage in a war with Iran which did kill many people. It takes two to tango - in this instance Saddam and the US.

Reference to WMD is amusing - and a persistance of linking the WMD term to Saddam/Iraq because he killed a number of people - without using actual WMD as we know them. The same WMD terminology can be applied to the current US government who have killed more innocent people in the 21st century than any nation or group of nations.



Americans, specifically the US government, never had any desires of liberating shit - get real. It never was the duty of any other nation to elect to liberate anyone. The US government caused the Iraq problem - and they deserve no sympathy when they have to lie in the bed they made for themselves. The worst enemy of the US people is their own government - not that of any other nation.
