Cherry, it's clear that you, just like the people you quote are 'people who think they know, but they actually deal in a limited number of ideologically constructed "stories" about the world that rely heavily on stereotype and prejudice, and are infrequently submitted to serious pragmatic ...

I'm not sure where SOME of you are obtaining the idea that Bush SAID that Iraq was posing an IMMINENT danger -- when he didn't -- he said "some threats need to be addressed BEFORE they become imminent." Just some simple facts for Cherry: On March 17, two days before the war, Bush said, &q...

Cherry the people DIDN'T have the water and electric before - under Saddam LMAO, they did. What have you been reading? I know it's hard to believe it was the coalition who blew and sanctioned it all away. The sanctions on humanitarian goods was lifted some years ago OMG. There wasn't anything ' lift...

Iraq (or the people living around the area now called Iraq) have been building stuff there for over 3000 years. The amount of new ceremon...

Sadly enough, perhaps predictable enough, the White House still claims there are those kind of weapons even after this latest report. And they will keep claiming until they will be carried away in straight jackets.

Bytheway, I'm Diep, and new to this forum. Pleased to meet ya all.

Hi Cherry, you wrote " seems Saddam built palaces all over, but let such things as water and electric deteriorate...." . Let me give you a clue. Check if these palaces had water and electric. Hey! They didn't. Then wonder why. Another clue: apart from oil, building (and the needed material...
