Reason 2 : Iraq has proven it’s willing to use WMD’s, on it’s own people no less! Indeed they did, but USA is the only country in the world that’s ever used The Bomb for any reason other than scientific and that was against two civilian targets. Kinda hard to forget. And when Iraq did gas their “own people”, it was on the kurds up north and as I understand it, they don’t really consider the kurds iraqi citizens? They’re kinda of low on the social scale down there so I’m sure they didn’t really consider them “own people”. Not that it makes it any less horrible from our point of view. But USA also kill their own citizens systematically. Only they do it in the name of “justice”. During Bush’s time as governor, a position that would allow him to pardon people on death row, more people were executed in Texas than in any other state. And as president he also has the power to pardon people and even to abolish death penalty completly. But what tha hell, it’s only criminals and murderers so it’s not really “their own people” either is it? Just check with Amnesty how many people have been found innocent after they’ve been sentenced to death, or even worse – executed. As long as that figure is greater than 0 I’m afraid to set foot on their soil knowing I could be framed for a murder and executed for it (even though that’s unlikely since they would have trouble executing a foreign citizen quietly).
On a happier note – gotta love Agassi’s comments.
