Think about the kind people you are defending. Are you so blind in your hatred of Americans that you would say Saddam was good for anyone except Saddam. He did not resign, he was chased into a hole and thrown in a cell like the animal he is. His supporters who remain are the type who would wire a school to blow up when the lights go on, killing their neighbors children and their own. Sure countries do what is in their own best interest. In some cases they even do things that are better for the world in general

No sir, but many of the things he did or supported hurt the cause of his people. Inspiring fear never led to any peace, which is why I think the Iraquis can't be prodded into voting with the point of a sword

when in my statement have i defended the Saddam Husein? and i want this to be clear! I don have any hatred toward the Americans in general. you are accusing me of things that I do not believe. I am saying that ALL GOVERNMENTS ARE GUILTY OF TERRORISM. In some case it is debatable whether it is justified or not. In my opinion the palestinians had the right... don't forget that more palestinians died in this war the Israelis. the palestinians were left with a choice give up the sacred land(jerusalem) or suffer the consequences. Arafat did not give in to the threat of Israel and USA, that is why he has acquired the status of almost god to the Palestinians all over the world. And BTW if the tables were reversed, i mean if a group told the USA either accept our conditions or suffer the consequences i would expect(and hope) that the USA would do the exact same thing as Arafat and would not fold.

They are busy fighting over a piece of land that means shit. Just a piece of dirt.
Israelis and Palestianians cant live in peace without going to war.
It takes a leader to put an end to violence. Obvioulsy afrafat didnt want that to happen. Sharon does.
Sharon is the smart one because once Arafats boys blow up a bus stop, in turn Sharon sends tanks and missles into the city.

Fight fire with fire.

Just keep in mind that it's a thin line between terrorist and freedom fighter.

Arafat and Sharon are more alike than their supporters would admit.
