The peace only Saddam could give his own people. The peace of mustard gas and nerve agents
which killed tens of thousands of Kurds and Iranians.
Not everyone despised the Vietnam war. Not everyone was out protesting it. Just like the media only showed protests of the Iraq war...it made you think EVERYONE was against it. NOT TRUE. Kinda goes back
to the media bias we discussed. Over 60 percent of Americans supported us going to war. The Vietnam war was about us going over and trying to prevent the communists in the North from spreading. There were plenty of attrocities committed by the Cong against their own people, just like the minority Sunni muslums in Iraq during their reign. Yeah....the big countries in the UN avidly did not support the US going into Iraq: Russia, Germany and 'hack' 'cough' France. Oh yes...China of course. WHy would these countries not support us??? Hummmm? Maybe because they had been supplying them with very wealthy supplies like weapons, technology, nuclear materials for 'cough' nuclear plants. Iraq owed them all billions of dollars and STILL owes them. NONE of them wanted the world to find out who had supplied them with all these items nor wanted to have them default on the money owed. So...they used their power in the UN Security council to vote NO on Iraq invasion. Of course, we as Americans value the UN's opinions and went anyway. Nice to see Kofi Annan get his panties in a wad. WAIT....I left our friend to the North out...Canada. As said before, Canada is just France with a lime twist. I honestly don't know why we even asked for Canada's support. What could they have given us? Some Cuban cigars and a few mounties. I dunno.
