Bobert: I'm sure the fact that you did not include in your post the fact that Allied planes were fired on by Iraqi defense forces in the "no fly zone" which resulted in the bombing. You are aware, I'm sure, that the "Zone" was established by the U. N. and was agreed to by Iraq, right?

Why is it that Iraq is never blamed for these things? It's always the U. S. or the British who are wrong, right?

McGrath: one could almost read your post to mean that if Iraq were of equal size to the U. S., things would be hunky dory. Is that what you meant?
