And it certainly won't stop you from killing people at weddings, or help bring back the 30 000+ innocent civilians killed in Afganistan and Iraq in the past 2.5 years. If I give free medical attention to 200 000 people for a lifetime, and then I kill my neighbor in a fit of rage - do they try me? What do you think? tIt's the year of the Pig.

Go there to rant and rave and bitch that all Americans suck, etc!, ok? Damn! I have already stated in an earlier post that I didn't want to get the whole political and war B.S. going in this thread.

Iraq invades Kuwait Iraq gets pushed back out of Kuwait Iraq is being overrun and nothing is stopping the push to Baghdad Iraq heads to the negotiating tables Iraq agrees to cease-fire conditions Iraq spends the next ten years thumbing their noses at the cease-fire, no-fly zones, WMD destruction, etc. The UN passes resolution after resolution. Iraq ignores them all. Ever see Life of Brian with the people sitting around the table that never actually doing anything? The US goes on the offensive and finishes the job. This 'they had no WMD' issue is another pile of garbage. SH had them and used them. Wheter he got rid of them like he was supposed to is an open issue, but they were there. There's only a couple of ten thousand square miles of desert out there. Didn't we find an entire air wing hidden out in the desert? How hard would it be to bury a few thousand shells?
