    So, this list is asked to listen to the wisdom of someone who calls the
    invasion of Kuwait "so-called" and the political expertise of someone who
    says it was somehow (not specified how or why) an American "setup";
    I don't think so.

    Baloney. He had a massive army and after he swallowed Kuwait he could have
    taken over Saudi Arabia in just a few days if he wanted to and he certainly
    wanted to, the only reason he didn't is fear of the USA, and if he knew the
    president was listening to advise from you he would have no fear and the
    world would be a sadder and more dangerous place today.

    >The US and Britain have unilaterally imposed no-fly zones

    Well Boo Hoo, poor Saddam has lost some of his power. So this list is asked
    to listen to the ethical advise of somebody who thinks no fly zones are a
    moral outrage but invading Kuwait is not. I don't think so.

    Perhaps? For good or bad very soon now we are going to know for sure if
    Saddam has weapons of mass destruction or not, you seem to be predicting
    he does not, I'm predicting he does.

    > Saddam is far less dangerous than Israel or North Korea or even

    Saddam is the only leader in the world who wants weapons of mass
    destruction, invaded his neighbors twice, has a chance to control the
    world's supply of oil and has actually used chemical weapons on his own
    people and on others.
