However, he is exactly the same evil dictator now as he was when he was a U.S. ally -- when he actually did use weapons of mass destruction, chemical weapons, in the Iran-Iraq war and on the Kurdish people within his own borders. At that time, he was the friend of the United States, and the United States smiled and patted him on the back. \r\n\r\n"There's a lesson to be learned here. The United States has made friends with any thug or murderous bully who would advance short-term economic or political interests around the globe. It did not matter how much you tortured your own people as long as you kissed Uncle Sam's ass. But the second that you stop following orders, then, you know, the aircraft carriers start leaving the dock. And that is a sad pattern throughout the twentieth-century U.S. foreign policy." \r\n\r\n","author":"screenager","parent_id":29509,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-02-27 04:55:20","modified":"2003-02-27 04:55:20","fileurl":""},{"id":31630,"heading":"Technically, we would be expanding an already existing war","article":"Tom Morello also said this:\r\n\r\n"There has been a nonstop war against the Iraqi people since 1991. Since the beginning of this year alone, there have been thirty to forty bombings on Iraqi soil by American warplanes. On January 8th, we bombed ten different sites. And that barely appeared on the front pages of newspapers in the United States. But worse than that is the economic embargo, which, according to UNICEF, has taken the lives of as many as 500,000 children. Now, those kids are not al Qaeda; they are not Taliban. These are Iraqi kids who, due to the lack of food or medical care, have perished because of United States policy. That seems like an unforgivable war crime and something people should be throwing barricades up in the streets about. What the hell are our tax dollars doing going toward killing kids halfway around the globe?" \r\n\r\n","author":"screenager","parent_id":29509,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-02-27 04:58:48","modified":"2003-02-27 04:58:48","fileurl":""},{"id":31871,"heading":"not so","article":"american foreign policy may be hard-line, but it is not responsible for killing 500,000 children. iraq's leaders live rich lifestyles in lavish palaces while their people starve, and america is the bad guy? embargos were meant to restrict and punish because of the countries mistakes (i.e. invasion). should'nt the iraqi people revolt against saddam?","author":"marc","parent_id":29509,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-02-28 07:27:13","modified":"2003-02-28 07:27:13","fileurl":""},{"id":31890,"heading":"one reason","article":"Why didn\u2019t the people revolt?\r\nOur constant bombing together with the horror of\r\ncontaminated water illness and DU poisoning has given \r\nthe people in Iraq more immediate concerns than organizing\r\nfor internal political leadership change.\r\nDealing with active terrorism (ours) and life on the edge of \r\nsurvival has left little energy to consider democratic reform.\r\nRemember all it took was a constructed terrorist attack on\r\nthe U.S. to change a bumbling shill for the wall street crowd\r\ninto an icon of leadership.
