"*we* use terrorist tactics.  Our trading partners and allies
 use terrorist tactics."
Say what? Can you be a bit more specific? Like place and time?
Perhaps in our infantile state..when the world abounded in colonialism
questionable things were done.When in recent history have we every commited
an act of terror? Have we blown up buses on purpose to cause terror? have we
unleasehed suicide bombers on innocent civilians? Have we hijacked airliners
and crashed them into buildings full of poeple?Has our goverment ever
sponsered training to teach how to do these things best?We have waged war in
a legal manner with honor and courage.Yes we have hurt civilians in doing
do..but not on purpose. Not any more than killing some of our own soldiers
was on purpose.You need to look up terrorism in the dictionary.As for this
war not being sanctioned by the UN. Well..the only reason it wasn't was that
the French and Germans opposed it.The had a vested interest in doing so.The
Germans built Saddam's underground bunkers. The French have been in bed with
ass for years....and I mean post-gulf was.AFTER it was known what his agenda
was.The french had alot to lose if we attacked.Hence thier position.America's
interest do not always follow those of the UN.We retain the right to act
independent of them. We are the world's greatest power. The UN exists because
of us and not vice-versa.As for us providing support for Saddam it was an
issue of maintaining a balance to Iranian power in the region."The Vietnamese
guerillas were originally trained as a part of Air
 America. " They weren't guerillas until the goverment in the south fell. They
were legit soldiers and became what they are in being opposed to communisim.
They ARE being dealt with..as far as drug trafficking in concerned .
"I don't like being lied to, what can I say?" What can I say I don't either
and I don't think I have. Iraq is a large nation. It make take a long time
to find those weapons. I am sure we will. It is true I misread your position
somewhat..and for that I apoligise. You are however errant in the salient
parts of your argument.
