Well, Teribus, owld lad, nice to see you putting in all that effort, but you have done nothing to demonstrate that you are anything other than a typical western revisionist ultra-right wing imperialist. Possibly with a bit of Christian evangelist thrown in for all I know. There are millions just like you in the US who have been similarly duped (hey, I don't even know whether that's where you live). I suppose you think men didn't land on the moon either. Not for one minute am I suggesting that Saddam was anything other than an evil, despotic bastard, and it saddens me that I have to keep on reprising that with eejits like you (who couldn't rip a bloody teddy bear to pieces, by the way, you insolent git). So Al-Qaeda killed 3000 in one attack, but we managed to kill "only" 150,000. Wow, that's all right then! And a hundred thousand Iraqi kids died in the 90s, all down to him, when we put the screws on, yet that didn't happen in the 80s when he was our big mate. Yeah, right! Nothing like a bad conscience, eh! :-)
