"I thought the rest of you believed the sun rose and set on what the UN decided that was best for all of us...well...don't you?"
No - we don't see international politics in such laughably simplistic terms.
"I guess since ousting Saddam would mean siding with the US, you all were cool with ignoring it, right?"
Yeah - you either backed Saddam 100% or you backed the US 100%. Wrong again, really very badly wrong.
"The UN sat idly by while Saddam was pissing on their collective heads."
Thats right - the UN sanctions had no affect on Saddam, he was free to develop WMDs and build a huge state-of-the-art 21st century military force. Oh no, when you think about it, thats a load of bollox.
"Maybe you all ought to run Saddam as the next candidate for PM...seeing that you all were so saddened to see him outsted from power and think he is not such a bad guy."
Guess again o simple one. Regarding Dubya's crusade as a dangerous folly that is only helping Al-Q's cause does not mean that we regard Saddam as a Gandhi figure.
"the world is better off without him in power"
Rubbish - Saddam was a tinpot dictator, hamstrung by sanctions with a shattered military who was a threat to his own people and no-one else. He was, though, dead against the fundalmentalism of Al-Q et al.
You really do seem to be suggesting suggesting that the threat of international terrorism has been lessened by this stupid war - you really have no idea.
"The rest of the world needs to find their collective backbone."
Yeah - international politics is just as easy as a John Wayne movie - act tough & good will out.
"You all forgot what it was like to see a dictator like this allowed to do as he pleases with little or no recourse...my...how you all easily forget."
What?? - you're trying to say that Saddam was the same threat as Hitler?? That really is too daft for words. Or are you saying that all petty dictators should be opposed?...my...I think that you'd better write to Georgie and tell him to get a brand new foreign policy then.
