re: elder = reagan --george
i would say go after them.
in the post sep 11 world, we can't put up with tyrannts who do all of the things you mention which is why i supported operation freedom.the neo-cons were right all along and should have been listened to earlier.
''invading countries-- looting their wealth - violating their inhabitants' human rights - causing the creation of a mass of refugees - destroying generations of people - desecrating sites of historical importance - causing disease, hunger and poverty to increase ''
saddam didn't only do these things to the people of kuwait but many of them to his own people as well.
i realise you believe the australians,british and americans are just as evil but i see no evidence of that.if they were i would be horrified and seeking asylum in some other country(lol).how you can believe the country you live in is led by people who are pure evil is amazing.
if what you are saying is true the iraqi people would not support them and their would be more than the odd bomb going off.people would not of voted and don't forget that was a big surprise to everyone who relies on the bbc,abc,fairfax etc.
i gain my confidence by being right whilst the likes of fisk are left praying the bathasts and alquada win.
