Sorry to add to this off-topic thread.  I understand this is not the
right place to discuss this, but I have to reply to this.
I'll try to make it short.

- Iraq has NOTHING to do with 9/11
- Iraq did NOT treat the USA and was not capable of doing so in a
  forseable future.  Iraq was not even a treat to the neiborghood
  countries.
- The invasion of Iraq is a crime.
- Saddam Hussein has been arrested.  That's a good thing.  But if
  we are serious when we talk about JUSTICE, Bush and Blair should
  be arrested as well.

I feel sorry and sad (and revolted too) about the innocent victims
of terrorism - *ALL* victims - in London, Madrid, New-York, Kaboul,
Bagdad, ...  And yes, I *do* care too for the victims who don't
get as much attention from the media, the ones for whom we usually
don't observe a minute of silence, the ones who are forgotten from
all commemoration.

I *do* condemn terrorism - *ALL* terrorism - including our own
War OF Terror.

I *do* care about life.  Just like I can't see the vistims of 9/11
as collateral damage, I can't accept the argument that the civilian
victims in Iraq are "the needed eggs to be broken to make an omelette".
There is no /noble/ cause that justify the killing of some innocents.

So ?  (Not sure to understand what you are trying to say here.)

Does that give the British a green card to do any crime now ?

Saddam Hussein is the one who, thanks to the privatization of the
oil fields, made Iraq one of the richest and best educated country
in the Arab world.  Medical cares used to be free for all Bagdadi.
Saddam was even rewarded by the UNESCO for his literacy program in
the 80'.
Following your statement, why haven't all the good things Saddam
Hussein did for his country (and all those SUV in the world running
thanks to the Iraqi oil) immune him from any crime charges ?


My 3 cents. (YOU did me in.)  ;-)
