Subject: RE: BS: Saddam, the Geneva Convention, etc....
Fionn---your first posting kind of set my teeth on edge. Does the wording mean that you too have joined the gullible multitudes which have been belatedly convinced by lying propaganda that the war wasn't about WMD after all, but really to get rid of Saddam for the sake of the poor downtrodden Iraqis? I t is good that he is [perhaps---] gone, but never forget the trumpeted justification---weapons of mass destruction. And just a wee comment on the stuff about his "humiliation". Yes---he was a baddie, and caused some misery, and was in consequence deserving of being caught and dealt with at least. But I wonder why all the pictures of g.i. squaddies kneeling or standing on the heads of Iraqi p.o.w.s haven't had a comment?
