Saddam Hussein was no picnic, obviously, but he was nowhere near as threatening as the Administration lead the world to believe. The false intelligence reports mitigate the President's responsibility, but I can't recall any time that anyone in the Administration has apologized to anyone for their mistakes. I find it very frustrating.
Saddam was much worse. He mass killed his own people time and time again. He has invaded other countries before to get what he wants. He had the power to have weapons of mass destruction and has used them in the past. He was a big threat to the world and the people of his country. Much more of a threat than that which was in the balkans. So just because the UN supported the balkan missions that was ok?
The UN is a very biased organization which does whatever it wants to serve the issues of the countries in power in the UN. It is a corrupt organization. :thumbdown: to the UN
