Second, look up the meaning of the word accused. Accusations are tossed about -- just ask the Duke Lacrosse Team. .

Yep, I could also ask Saddam Hussein about the WMDs if he was still alive.

Or you could ask him why he decided to try to bluff President Bush (any fool knows you can't bluff a Texan!), and then ask him if he regrets bringing the whole thing upon him in his self-destructive rush. However, today Saddam is buring in the fires of hell. This is a position he and his followers earned.

Of course, Eki's position is even less justifiable, since s/he did not live in Iraq, and have the pleasure of being one of Saddam's subjects. It takes all kinds.

I think the ex. soldiers do the same everywhere, for instance in New york metrostations, there was many ex.marines begging for money, when they did not beg they seemed to talk to eachother, about what i dont know but anyway.

Do you have the slightest idea of what's going on in Iraq? Do yuo think that the situation there is really even close of being a democracy?

Anarchy is maybe the word you were thinking of?

Are you in Iraq now, or are you in regular contact with those who are in Iraq? Your "flag" shows you are in Finland. How far is that from Bagdad?

First off, the accused in this case are being tried by the US Military Justice system, which contrary to popular belief is interested in the truth. They will get a trial.

Second of all Bush has lamented the loss of civilian life in Iraq on numerous occasions. The US military didn't go in there to indescrimnately destroy and maim the civilian population of Iraq. To use your logic, Iraqi miltary units just should have not resisted and none of this would happened. Alas, it was a war, and civilians were in danger and some have died. THIS is a tragedy no doubt. Bush however has never ONCE told a Miltary officer nor has any officer of any rank had orders to rape, pillage or destroy for the sake of terror. These were crimes your buddy Saddam condoned and encouraged as state policy. Eki, I know your belief in moral equivalence has put Bush on the same level as Hussein, but believe me, there is a difference. What is more, you are STILL telling me that you believe Saddam had the right to do those things to his own people and THAT isn't a crime, but if the US comes in and removes his regime, THAT is the greater sin. Unbelieveable. Your defence of a dictator just continues.

One more thing, Eki you despise killing in your posting on the thread "Cats are Brilliant", yet you see nothing wrong with Saddam doing it. You figure his hanging was the true crime. Unreal....I got to get the drugs you are smoking my friend....it must be weird being in Alice's Wonderland....

Say it slowly, Saddam hussein was killing his own people long before the US Military did. You can do it Eki, I know you can...
