It may have been different but I doubt the outcome would have been much better. What is happening in Iraq is the end result of a few hundred years of medeling and conflicts between superpowers. I might figure out an answer if I could live in the basement of some university for a few years...

Five.

Never argue with an idiot. He'll just drag you down to his level of intelligence and beat you with experience.

Gee whiz, excuse me for noticing but Saddam was putting on weight through that time period from banquets.

What, you want me to post a picture of Duke in his Klan wear? I can do that if you like. I can't find much to relate to this thread except that.

Cajey, Cajey...

Is this the purpose of ths thread? In order to get a reaction from another member? Sounds like trolling to me.

Bourne doesn't post in threads unless they are smears on a Democrat.

Or Socialists, or Communists, Arabs or Muslims.

If there ever was in the history of humanity an enemy who was truly universal, an enemy whose acts and moves trouble the entire world, threaten the entire world, attack the entire world in any way or another, that real and really universal enemy is precisely Yankee imperialism

They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?

All things aside, I think the main point here is that sanctions a) Do not work and b) Only affect those most vulnerable including the poor, young children and the elderly.
Can you imagine 500,000 children dead because of sanctions you supported? How could you go on with that on your conscience?
