Subject: RE: BS: Got WMDs?
If arming fundamentalists is the problem, indict the government of the USA which has done more to arm fundamentalists in the last 20 years than probably anyone else. They did it in order to hurt the Russians. Remember? Oh, and they also armed Saddam and the Saudis. Saddam was anathema to Islamic fundamentalists. They only thing they liked about him was his defiance toward the USA, Israel, and Britain.

Now that Saddam has been deposed fundamentalists have a good shot at running Iraqui society...if they can just get the American troops out of there. That may not be too easy. Real democracy in Iran would mean a triumph for Islamic fundamentalism...followed, I'd figure, by a quick end to said democracy. How ironical. This war was not fought for freedom. It was fought for gain.
