We're not linked to Terrorism - honest!

On Saturday, Iraqi Vice Pres Taha Yassin Ramadan told a German news magazine that Iraq is prepared to deploy "thousands of suicide attackers" against the United States once any U.S. bombing of Iraq starts.

"We don't have long distance missiles or many bombers, but we will deploy thousands of suicide attackers ... the martyrs," Ramadan said in an interview published Saturday on the Web site of Der Spiegel, the weekly news magazine.

"Those are our new weapons and they will not only be deployed within Iraq. ... The Arab people will stand by the people of Iraq in the fight for its independence and freedom. This will be a fire in the whole region."

We've been functionally at war with Iraq for 10+ years. The fact that they would resort to terrorism in what is obviously an asymetric conflict is largely beside the point.

Sorry... but the use of terror warfare or not isn't a moral decision to someone that is outnumbered, outgunned, and outmatched. Iraq can't hope to stand against the U.S. toe to toe so you can expect that they will strike at where we are weakest.
