Saddam Hussein, was unique in announcing to the world his admiration of the terrorists who carried out the attack on the WTC

Sorry, but this is codwallop; the sentiment you refer to was voiced by many throughout the Muslim world. Besides, it is a matter of no concern to any free person what another person admires or does not, except as backgrou8nd information. The statement is used here asd an emotional argument. Saddam is dangerous for a lot more concrete reasons than wishing ill to others. He has shown in the past an energetic willingness to act on that ill will in very nasty ways.

The other thing I don't understand, Teribus, is why you are writing in the first person about bringing the issue to the UN and maintaining pressure on Iraq. I assume you are quoting George Bush, and it would be helpful if it were clear where your language ends and his begins.

I believe th word Bobert meant to insert was rationalizations -- architectures of explanation designed to sound rational about what are essentially irrational actions or thoughts.

That said, I agree ya done good, Teribus.
