Raedwolf ...Thanks for putting me right on the use of language,but Im a builder, not an author.
I think your wrong when you imply that people on Mudcat would prefer to see Saddam murdering his citizens, than the Americans being successful,but you must try and see the longer picture .Saddam was a cruel dictator ,but Islamic fundamentalism will be too strong an adversary for the West to handle,simply because it is so easy for those fundamentalists to subvert our economy. Although an evil man, Saddam was another bulwark against this spectre..
This is one occasion when the physicaly weak have the means to overcome the powerful.
Im sure your a clever man Raedwolf, but I think you need to aquire some manners in YOUR use of language.....Ake
