Again, you are not teaching me anything, I know all this already, I do not buy into western rhetoric about the middle east, but that doesn't mean that everything the west says and does in that region is wrong. Look for a bit more of a balanced view. Saddam was a murderous tyrant AND Israel are an apartheid state. These two facts are not mutually exclusive.
OK BoroMart.
There are mountains of credible evidence that prove Sadam had no weapons of mass destruction or the facilities or capacity to build them.
Tell me this: What changed between George Bush inviting and entertaining Taliban Leaders in Texas and d*ck Cheney visiting Saddam only a few years prior to the United States invasion? d*ck had his arm around Saddam at a time they said later the "tyrant" was allegedly plotting to destroy Kuwait and threaten the entire Western World.
[Do you not think it might be worth considering what changed Dicks approach]? One minute hes doing the bidding and playing the North Americans tune - then he becomes an evil tyrant!
Far from removing a tyrant, Iraq is now run by gangsters, armed with weapons provided by American $$$`s.
The same "allies" they used to "topple" this "evil" man are now firing weapons in The Green Zone and doing to the USA what the Vietcong did in Vietnam!
The invasion of a sovereign state which had never threatened to attack the United States, has left over 1,000,000 refugees in their own country. Over half a million people were either killed or seriously injured during the invasion. Cheney and Rumsfeld at a conference after the invasion, invited senior bankers and industrialists, including global oil corporations and chemical refiners: they are recorded bragging that Iraq`s oil would bring huge profits to those companies and described a scenario which had nothing to do with democracy and everything to do with oil.
Meanwhile the USA snuggles up the arz of the tyranical religious fundamentalist butchers of Saudi - Arabia, who torture their own people: they still have the practice where gay people are beheaded and stoned to death - women have severe restrictions placed upon them - dissenters are executed.
They are currently bombing Yemen with armaments made in Britain - there is a famine on the horizon in Yemen, children dying of diseases due to lack of fresh water and medical care. This is a direct result of the ongoing genocidal slaughter conducted with impunity by Trumps "allies".
Wheres the USA invasion to topple those "evil" tyrants?
Maybe its because the Saudi`s have huge power and wealth due to their OIL resources - they also have an unholy alliance with Israel - another rogue state.
The Americans cannot chose whose country to invade [on the pretext of being democrats] and then claim immunity from being accountable for the deaths and injuries occasioned to millions of ordinary people.
Saddam`s departure was engineered to suit a much bigger objective of the United States - they wanted the oil.
They are trying to engineer a similar result in Venezuela - the CIA are well practiced in that. As is MOSSAD and MI6.
Unfortunately the "New World Order" experiment included the invasion of Syria and Iran, with the yapping dog Israel chomping at the bit to unleash its western - supplied weapons of mass destruction on its middle east neighbours. Our establishment continues to covertly nurture dissent and provide weapons to a rag tag of mercenaries and criminals in parts of Syria - they are portrayed as "rebels" - but they want the dollars not democracy.
The very act of invasion of Iraq signalled a series of repercussions and events which have made Syria and Iran even more powerful. The middle east is a more hostile place to the "West" than it was before the very first Iraq invasion. Saddam was painted as a pariah, after the western "allies" had poured millions of $$$$` into his pockets, and then removed by those same bankers for their own ends.
I dont doubt Saddam was a dictator or dishonourable man, but those American Presidents and our Prime-Ministers who volunteered to put our troops in the front line deserve the same fate as the Nazis at the Nuremberg Trials.
