Great, stay home, you are not wanted in the first place. Like anyone would want to fly to the US! The airports are so insecure that a bunch of domestic flights were hijacked a couple of years back and flown into buildings by terrorists. There have been no shortage of European aircraft hijacked and destroyed by terrorists. If you don't want to come to the US, fine. I won't be crying over your fear. At least the existence of terrorists like the US-funded IRA has meant that European airports have tolerable security. Cut the crap! England and English policies built the IRA! SMH |

England and English policies may have "built" the IRA, but America and the American-Irish funded it for the most part. Steve |

No fear involved, I just have no reason to go there. England and English policies built the IRA! And American money kept them in arms. But that's different: they are "freedom fighters" not "terrorists". The difference is well known. Guy === May contain traces of irony.

Lindsay, I don't think Saddam ever thought he'd make it through and still be in charge for the simple reason that Bush always showed by his actions that the invasion was inevitable. It seemed obvious to many that the Bush admin. was hunting for justification for something they had known was going to happen for some time. Here's a couple of scenarios: If Saddam gave up any weapons he may have had, then Bush would have found another pretext to invade. Without weapons, he could do nothing to the invading US force. However, if he had weapons and told the world he'd destroyed them, he may have had a chance when the inevitable invasion occurred to take as many US soldiers as he could and cause some huge political damage to Bush at home. In both scenarios, Saddam knows his goose is deep-fried. The fact that they -never- used any kind of non-conventional weapons against the US forces says a lot to me. You can't really deny that the I seriously disagree with this reasoning. If he uses the weapons, he does NOT do any damage to Bush politically. My thought, David, is that a bunch of dead or maimed US soldiers would be political damage to Bush in the US. Based on the way it appeared the US was going to go in (fast), they could have set things up in a way to catch the US military off-guard and done some severe damage to the troops. Sort of like they are doing now with conventional-style roadside bombs, booby traps, etc. There were no WMD to use. It was all lies. B.S. Do you *really* believe he destroyed all those weapons he had left after he used them on the Kurds and the Iranians? -- Dave Kerber Fight spam: remove the ns_ from the return address before replying!

The airports are so insecure that a bunch of domestic flights were hijacked a couple of years back and flown into buildings by terrorists. After flying Munich-Toronto a number of times through Philedelphia I finally got fed up with the bull**** of flying through the states and made my Xmas visit home connecting through Milan. Not only was there far less hassle at the connecting airport but I made the fortunate discovery that Alitalia is a much better carrier than US Airways. They resort to bribery to shut the children up (US Air lets them wail the whole flight long), the meals are much more imaginative and alcohol is free on transcontinental flights. The layover in Milan was shorter than it would have been in Philly and the airport coffee cannot even be compared. Jeez, no wonder our economy is strapped. Big spenders like you ain't comin' here.

Dumbass - Ya, he used them on the Kurds and Iranians, therefore, being the bad guy that he is, he would have used them on us when his regime was being eviscerated. Unless, of course, he did actually comply with the UN resolutions in an attempt to get economic sanctions lifted and his $$$ supply restored. |

The problem is that their record keeping was so shoddy, they couldn't make a convincing case that the weapons were 100% destroyed. BTW, WMD is not an apt moniker for mustard gas. It's technology from World War One. |
