"A foreign agressor with spurious reasons." L. H., sometimes you astound me. Don't get carried away, though, because it is not often.

You, and many others here on this forum said there could not be free elections in Afghanstan (those people could NEVER govern themseves). When the elections are held in Iraq, and millions of Iraqi votes are tallied, you probably will still be decrying, "It cannot happen!" What you should be saying is, "I hope it doesn't happen because then, I will be proven wrong.

There is no other way to say it other than, you, L.H., and the majority of posters here on the Mudcat, would prefer to see Saddam back in power, the Iraqi people subjected to his cruelty, thousands of Iraqis buried in mass graves, and the rape rooms reinstated.

How sad, I say. Particulary since you view yoursleves as liberal, progressive humanists.
