My point?, are you still with me?. Numerous British firms had been working on Sadamm`s various projects for years, as far back as the 1970s.
I knew two of the men Sadamm held as hostage , they worked for Mivan a Belfast firm,
and they wern`t too displeased as they were paid quite a sum by Mivan when they returned.
All of those firms went out to Iraq with the blessings of the tory governments who were in power throughout that period
Sadamm was still the same dictator,who ruled Iraq with a rod of iron, I think the iron was supplied by a Birmingham firm, well they supplied all of the rest of his needs.

So what was the difference between the tyrant then and the tyrant now?.
