agree swiss, except the part about voting to fight a war with no return. sometimes you just have to do what you think is the right thing and take a chance. it's not about economics or treasure. you see a dictator gassing his own people, shooting people in the head with a smile on his face and you want to make the bad man go away for those people. so you take a risk. it shouldn't have taken two wars to make the bad man go away. so the dice roll, not a yahtzee. but the world knows again we don't like that crap. but we can't fix it all, unfortuneatley. because we are now broke and china has us by the balls. but I would still vote that way again today, even though gas prices have gone way up and my lifestyle fallen since 10 years ago.

you see a dictator gassing his own people

Yup, with chemical weapons made from materials supplied by the US (the Ronald Reagan administration had taken Iraq off the State Department's list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, enabling this), along with Singapore, the Netherlands, Egypt, India and West Germany. And of course, the US is still happily backing dictators where it finds it convenient...

I guess there's a bit of truth what Johnny Depp said about US being a dumb puppy. But then again, Saddam would have probably bought the sheet from somewhere else I suppose.

As for dictator, I think some people here voted one in! So I have to agree with that too.

Well if you like that - get this one,

Britian sold Saddam compaonants to build a super gun so he could he could shoot at Jordan(?). The "pipes" were huge! During the Gulf War the SAS blew it up...
