Are you joking? So now when there are proof that Saddam gives money to the families of the Suicide bombers (something I dindt think anybody doubted since Tareq Azis himself has acknowledged that fact) you are still not satisifed?

I pointed that it was propaganda from Saddam trying to get support of the other extremist muslim.

The same extremist muslim he killed in his own country to have full control of Iraq.

Yep now that the sanctions will most likely end along with Saddam, and now that we are bringing food and medicine to the people, is the time to worry for the children.

Cool War: Economic sanctions as a weapon of mass destruction

By Joy Gordon.

"Since the U.N. adopted economic sanctions in 1945, in its charter, as a means of maintaining global order, it has used them fourteen times (twelve times since 1990). But only those sanctions imposed on Iraq have been comprehensive, meaning that virtually every aspect of the country's imports and exports is controlled, which is particularly damaging to a country recovering from war. Since the program began, an estimated 500,000 Iraqi children under the age of five have died as a result of the sanctions -- almost three times as many as the number of Japanese killed during the U.S. atomic bomb attacks."

How do you suggest it be done? By asking nicely?

What to do then? Drill boy, drill!

Certainly not. Saudi Arabia has terrorist camps, indirectly provides funding for terrorists and 75% of the 9-11 attackers were Saudi born.

British intelligence concluded that any relationship between Saddam and Al Queda floundered because of ideological differences. I also think Saddam is a maniac but he's not stupid. He wouldn't use terrorists because he knows it would be the end of him.

I give you 4 links about Iraq arming and funding terrorists, and you give me a line about how Iraq doesn't use terrorists?

Giving money to the families of terrorists isn't the same as training them, as reprehensible as it might be.

I also don't think it will encourage people to blow themselves up. They seem pretty intent on doing that regardless of money, as one of your links pointed out. Money is nothing to them when your home can be bulldozed or bombed at will.

Funding terrorism and giving terrorism incentive is participating in terrorism.

That might actually be true. It's a shame the US government didn't realise that when it came to IRA sympathisers in the US.

Martlet · « **Reply #43 on:** March 18, 2003, 04:42:19 PM »

our government funds IRA sympathizers?

News to me. How about a link?

Dowding · « **Reply #44 on:** March 18, 2003, 04:47:26 PM »

I didn't say that.

Many American citizens were active IRA terrorists and should have been prosecuted by the US government, going by your own logic.

Years after the Omagh bombing, Real IRA members were given access visas to the US. This was finally sorted shortly before Sept. 11th.
