A hypocrite is someone like Galloway, who condemns UN sactions as murderous while siding with Saddam.
Gixer, I thought you liked the UN?
So the US supported Sadam at one time when he was or wasn't a muderous dictator? As I thought he was a murderous dictator during all of his reign? Or do you only like to think of the US as supporting Sadam when he was a good dictator fighting those nasty Iranians.
So in that case it's hypocritical to call Galloway a supporter of a muderous dictator and the US not since we are talking about the same dictator aren't we?
Alot of people do see the UN sanctions as muderous to the Iraqi people. And that those UN sanctions were mainly proposed,implimented,supported and enforced by the US.
But the argument you started wasn't about the rights and wrongs of those sanctions but of calling Galloway a hypocrite. Which he may or might not be but it's hilarious to try and claim the morale high ground for the US government at the same time. Really is the pot calling the kettle black don't you think?
