Hi Guys,

I am amazed that something I said over a year ago, before the Iraq war,

has
suddenly re-appeared.

I can only think it was on my website, "Maps of Iraq",
http://users.powernet.co.uk/mkmarina/iraq/iraq.html

Since then the situation has changed somewhat :-o and my website has been
updated, although not recently.

To pull things back on-topic I have loads of great maps of Asia on my
websites, check them out.


Cheers,


Pete Loud


Interesting site Peter. While I was reading it I was thinking how millions
of Americans were outraged that Steve Irwin took his child into the
crocodile enclosure, but those same people cheered as the bombs and missiles
rained down on the people of Iraq.


Yup. We were outraged when some idiot put a baby's life at risk with a
crocodile so he could entertain people and make money and we cheered
when America removed a violent tyrant who had killed hundreds of
thousands of people and began a process where freedom and democracy
can come to the millions of people in Iraq and where they no longer
have to fear torture and death at Saddam's hands. We probably saved a
million lives.

And we removed a threat from the US.

Yes, we cheered.

When Saddam was killing and gassing Iraqis, guess who it was who was
supporting him.

The US didn't care one jot about Saddam murdering Iraqis, they were prepared
to support and supply Saddam Hussein. Donald Rumsfeld was the key guy at
that time.

Read this article http://www.truthout.org/docs_03/122603C.shtml

So it's no good trying to make out that US attacked Iraq because Saddam was
a violent tyrant who had killed hundreds of thousands of people, US was
supporting his murderous activities in the 1980's.

No, I am simply pointing you to the facts behind the Iraq war.

If you regard someone presenting factual information about such a key issue
as a "whinging Pom" then you have a rather strange attitude to politics and
history.

I see that your email address appears to come from an Australian educational
institute, do others in education treat analysis of political developments
the way you ?

Perhaps you should give up education and stick to boozing and slagging off
anyone whose views you dislike.

Are you saying that US, and specifically Donald Rumsfeld, were not
supporting Saddam Hussein in the 1980's?

Are you under the impression that your URL is anything but extremist
propaganda? It's kind of like quoting a KKK website about opinions of
blacks. Or quoting a PLO website for opinions about Israel.

The fact is that we supported Saddam during the Iraq/Iran war. When he
gassed the Kurds we absolutely condemned in and began the process of
isolating him that continued until last year.

I am not all that familiar with the British press. Is The Independent
really anything like "extremist propaganda?" I would think not?
