      The current war in Iraq has killed a great # of innocent civilians. Many more innocent civilians continue to die

      in Iraq every day. The entire Iraqi infrastructure has been destroyed.

      This is a useless war. The religious factions will continue to fight each other with/without US military there.

      That's the nature of a religious war.

          ...There is alot in what you stated....as for learning from past histories, Mr Bush should have studied the movie, "Lawrence of Arabia" where at the end of WW1..Britian had 'united' the Arabs to rule in harmony; yet, the Arab's mistrust for even their own kind resorted to tribal warring all over again, and it's still prevalent right now and in the future, what's to change with these people??

            LOCKNLOAD; there is no way on this planet that anyone is going to change a society's manner of rule in one or two decades after is has been in place for more than 5000 years.

            Invading a country and having a new power set up a provisional government according to the invading forces standards is doomed to fail no matter how it is implimented.

            Don't forget, this war started in 1937 when the Brits tried to set up their own dictated provisional government in Kiwait. Following that, Germany, France, Russia and our own country started meddling in the affairs and governence of the entire Middle East.

            Who do you think was responsible for putting Saddam Hussein in power and who supplied the idiot with his weaponry? We have our own dirty laundry to account for in the Middle East.

                Lazloe, Hitler thought communism was started by Jews in Russia to destroy Germany and longed for the old Germany under Frederick Barbarrosa. Hitler thought the Jews were not German because they refused to fight for Germany on the battlefront in the gas. So Hitler gassed Jews for treason. Hitler named his attack on Russia Operation Barbarrosa.

                Today we see similar traits between Hitler and Putin looking for lost the respect of the USSR and Bin Laden demanding his lost respect for the Muslim nation or Caliphate and his fundamentalists. That is where we get the misnomer Islamofascists.

                Muslims recoil at this because Islam does not have anything to do with conquering and neither does Christianity. But both share similar histories of conquest in the name of religion. Both share the idea is that this is exclusive club. With us or agianst us. Muslims are at a distadvantage because as they still have holy leaders. It makes leaders beyond reproach, as if the people are debating God.

                    The Muslim nation is really split between the two sects with each one fighting each other since the First Fitna or Muslim civil war. They fight the infidels at the same time. Each sect cannot be the "right" religion or path and there is only one thing more heinous to a Muslim than a nonbeliever who makes you question your faith. That is a believer that makes you question your faith. How can both be right? Someone must be wrong. Lets kill each other and see who's side Allah favors. The infidels who really make the Mulsims question their faith is the Jews. How can Allah allow the infidels to live so well? Allah must be testing us. Suicide and killing innocents are wrong in Islam. Yet suicide bombing of innocents of the other sects are done daily. Why? If Allah thought they were true he'd save them. So Allah's willing to let me do this it must be right. I offer myself to Allah because he is great and Allah let me.

                    It wasn't wrong to stop Saddam and the US did not start this.

                      Get to the point. Muslims fundamentalists are looking to fight infidels to bring back the glory of Islam. You hear fundamentalists say the lines were drawn in the wrong place by France and England in the Middle East. Translated that means there should be no lines since the whole world should be Muslim. Secondly you hear, Stop meddling. Translate that it means let us kill off the minority tribes without you defending them. The underlying reasoning is Allah will allow me to kill anyone who is not innocent or he would stop me. Allah's will be done.

                          I don't think Sadamm had the capability to produce chemical weapons at the level they were used during the Iraq-Iran war and later during the Kurdish operations. So where did he get some the ingredients to put together these weapons?? A hint; Rumsfields hand shaking visit to Sadamm in the early eighties.

                            Nobody has mentioned the obvious. Georgie would kick A@@ if he and Cheney were fighting. I just cannot understand why they haven't yet. They are our supermen for peace and prosperity for Iraq. They are truely bad!! Add Rumsfeld and the war would have ended last year. Bush and Cheney are the Terminators. They feel no pain and bullets will not penetrate their armor of rhetoric. Watch out if these two enter the battle.

                            Makes no mind they never fought, their very bad.

                              He will feel so much better when his neck is about a foot longer, just like Sadam.

                                  Another 100-200 US troops will be executed for trespassing in Iraq before this tyrant dies.

                                  And they willbe blown to smithereens.

                                    How can the Hague be impartial when that is where the chemicals for chemical Ali came from. The US did supply pesticides which SAddam said would be used omn the bugs in his swamps and he used them on people. It is not the supplier at fault but the user. Weapons can be used for good or evil. For defense or offense. Saddam took attack helicopters and artillery from Russia and used them on his own and stil Russia supported him. The US acted against a leader of genocide. The US cannot be held equally guilty for acting in Iraq and not acting in Rwanda. The world protected crimial Saddam because he had oil and did not act in Rwanda because they had no oil. Each is a crime.

                                      Hanging is considered an insult to him.It is reserved for the common solgier. He is demanding to be shot,as it is the custom with officers.

                                        The story is comprehensive and does not anymore have to be repetitive of the past events that were several times published on the web. Also, the court's decision is proper.

                                          All fine and well to look only at summaries of what was approved for shipment to Iraq in the 1980's.....now take a look closely at them...you'll find they all had either farming or pharmacological uses. These were severely cutback on when evidence of what Saddam had done got out. As to the anthrax exports....these things are bought and sold on the market to enable others to study them. Keep in mind when the US cutoff his access to these things he just started buying them in europe.....all through the UN program that was supposed to allow medicine for the Iraqi people to pass through the embargo.....what was the real reason the Germans and French opposed our going in?????THEIR BIG BUSINESSES WERE MAKING HUGE PROFITS SELLING THIS CONTRABAND TO SADDAM.

                                          What the current Iraqi government does to the remains of the Saddam regime is their business.

                                            Here's how we'll make peace with the Arab world.

                                            1) Immediate pull ALL military forces from the middle east.

                                            2) Immediately withdraw ALL support for Israel.

                                            3) Beg for forgiveness from Allah. (Publicly/Internationally)

                                            4) Pay as much restitution to the Arab world as they so demand.

                                            5) Immediately execute ANY U.S. citizen that speaks out against Allah or the Arab world.

                                            6) Immediately revoke voting, driving, free speech, divorce, and property rights from ALL women in the U.S.

                                            7) Establish censorship control of ALL media.

                                            8) Stone Brittany Spears to death if she ever shows that cute little shaved cooter in public ever again!

                                            Praise Allah!!!!

                                                I thought Chemical Ali was killed in an airstike back in the beginning of April 2003 in Basra. You can google several reports on this. I dont ever recalling him being captured.

                                                  He's only been found guilty for the 130,000 Kurds. He's responsible for the thousands of dead Iranians from the gas attacks in during the Iran/Iraq War. While I can't stand the Iranian nazi party running Iran, I think they should have a go at him too. You'll find their idea of trial and punishment much worse.
