Witness the tacit US support for Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war in which Saddam Huessin first used chemical weapons against his enemies. Beyond merely political support, we also gave Saddam intelligence, equipment and some sources indicate, the actual chemical weapons used by Saddam.
Back then, Saddam was a convenient ally against another enemy, as was Bin Laden. The US only turned against Saddam when it became apparent that he was no longer willing to listen to us and to do our bidding. Ditto for Bin Laden.
In some ways, Saddam’s execution today shows the short sightness of US policy. How many other dictators do we support today who will turn against us in the near future? Now for the day when Buckaroos Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeldt, Pearle, Wolfowitz and the rest of their cabal join him and be accountable for their crimes against humanity?
I worry about people who profess to have a love for Christ and then think it is just fine to kill someone else. Did I hear ‘turn the other cheek’ in that bible you folks are thumping.
