What are your thoughts on the "food for oil" scandal??? It's bringing out a lot of names, I think it should be put into a better catagory though other than a silly little scandal don't you?? how about supporting terrorism, supporting genecide, and contributing to the starvation of millions of people. The thing is, you would think that it would be all over the news but it really isn't. Of course it's mentioned every once in a while, but it seems that the michael jackson case or the scott peterson trial gets way more media attention. Infact, Clinton's little affair with Monica was a bigger deal than what the media is making this "scandal" out to be. Infact, I would like to know more about it, because I DON'T have all of the facts. Maybe somebody with a little more knowledge on the subject can fill in some details.

I think we are beginning to see why countries in the U.N. were against us going into Iraq. And this is only one reason. You would think socialist countries that tax most of what their people make, would not need to make shady deals with a despot dictator like Saddam.
I also will be suprised if Saddam and his men will face trial anytime soon, because a lot of evidence against him will probably shed even more light on the U.N.

Taz, just because I oppose invading a Nation, and killing untold thousands of innocent people does not mean that I think Mr Hussien is worthy of a peace prize. You are trying to divert attension from the truth. Mr Hussien was captured a year ago, there are no WMD found, and now things have just degenerated into the USA killing, and squashing all resistance to their presence there.
Every week the "focus" of the "war" changes. In the beginning it was capturing "stockpiles of weapons", then it was "capturing" Hussien. Now it is 'bringing democracy". You will have to excuse me, if I distance myself from evil, and dishonest people, and their agenda.
So Shrewman are you suggesting that the best thing to do with individuals and governments that support terrorism should simply be allowed to continue to do so? Should we sit idly by while they kill totally innocent people, seems to me that would make us an accesory to them if we have the capability to stop them and do nothing.
Shrew what do you say to the loved ones of those killed by suicide bombers in Isreal? Do we say to bad, so sad, as Sadaam paid the families of the suicide bombers or do we do something about it?

Taz, based on what I have read from you, I have no doubt that you support using violence to squelch the percieved fears that you have.
hussein being a "bad guy" wasn't justification enough for me for us to destroy that country.
You people really have your heads in the sand if you think Saddam was peaceful. The man bluffed us and we called him on it. If you can run with the big dogs, stay on the porch. Apparently the man who fancied himself as the next Stalin got a little too big for his britches, and he went down hard for it.
And the Oil for Terrorism Money scam was glaring evidence of Saddam's inhumane, militaristic terrorist agenda. What good can one say about a man who starved his people to build palaces, finance his secret intelligence operations, and build weapons systems?

he wasn't peaceful towards his immediate neighbors...but he was no threat to the United States.
