*The question has surely reached the point when it
would make anyone but Phil and Eric vomit. Saddam
Hussein was propped into power by the US (if not he
personally, then at least his party), pushed into war
against Iran by the US, provoked into occuppying
Kuwait by the US, bombed by the US, sanctioned
economically by the US, and finally removed by the US
to make to make way for a new team of thug servants.
Yeah by all means let's cheer that he is out of power.
Yeah, right. (Delivers a hard kick into the ass.)
