Yes, Saddam is indeed engaged in some bizarre stuff of his own. The reason GUEST is not concentrating on that is because Saddam does not command the destructive power that George Bush does. Saddam is a bit player. Saddam is "bad guy" of the year, soon to be replaced by another token face, I'm sure. Does one worry about a chattering squirrel in the back 40 (Saddam) when there is a berserk elephant (Bush & corporate America) loose in the pantry? :-)

This is so obvious...why should I really have to state it? Or...do you actually think Saddam is a threat to America????? Hell, he can't even control the air over 3/4 of his own country, and he lost over 100,000 men in the last go-round while killing...um...was it 10 or 15 guys...or was that "friendly fire" that got them?

To put it another way: What should one have given maximum concern to in 1939...

The undemocratic and bellicose ways of the government of Poland? Or the enormously greater peril posed to the whole world by Nazi Germany? The latter, obviously.

If you're an Iraqui, you have reason to be concerned about Saddam. If you're an American, you have reason to be concerned about George Bush.
