Denys, you are so wrong.
We all know that Saddam is and was very bad and a mass-murderer.
However Bush/Cheney told/tell lies for their reasons to invade Iraq.
Nobody complains about the invasion of Afghanistan, you might notice.
However the reasons for the attack of Iraq were very different from
the "fantasies" told.
That is the point I am trying to make.
Would Senate have voted for the invasion if all the facts were on the table?
Would the American have re-elected B/C if the truth was known or B/C would
have shown their true face?
