It's hard to guess what was in Saddam's mind. He received a few of his WMD's from the US and their allies. There was no question, despite what the ignorant media keeps pushing our way. He was playing the proud peacock though, when he would've been better served to have just got down to the truth. In that respect, daffy Quadaffi seems to have used a smidgeon more of wisdom when it was required of him. The middle east has been a dry tinderbox for well over half a century now, and everybody is selling matches. I understand how democracy is a needed element for freedom to exist, but when most of the voters have been deceived practically from birth by a phoney proud religion, is a difficult plant to get it's roots down. And now, this great nation has one of the greatest idiot savante's steering at the helm. Lord only knows..............
