re: A bloody fantastic article from the smh!kopite
hi read the article-there seems to me a lot of hate in the article. the difference between israel and iraq is massive.the u.s aren't worried israel will attack them or their allies.they are a democracy who wants to live in peace.no doubt they have acted poorly sometimes-but that has to be kept in context.non of their neighbours want them there.they were attacked on three seperate occasions i think.since then, they have become paronoid and aggresive.some would say for good reason.but ultimately this is all irelevant to the issue of saddam.he is a madman aggressor who is capable of anything.america can't be expected to attack all countries who break un resolutions.they would be very busy.war is a big ask, only to be undertaken when considered unavoidable. america supported iraq once-so what,what has that to do with the current urgent situation. the nasty argument that america should stop whinging because it's worse elsewhere is idiotic.america was built by people leaving countries for the reason they were full of corruption and violence.many came from the middle east.
