re gulf war selling arms in article v rusnews w w mantis co uk mathew mathew mantis co uk writes mccullou snake cs wisc edu mark mccullough writes from a parallel thread much about definitions of bombs etc deleted aaaahhh tell me how many innocents were killed in concentration camps mm hmm now how many more were scheduled to enter concentration camps had they not been shut down because they were captured by the allies mm hmm now civilians died in that war so no matter what you do civilians die what is the proper course don t sell the bastard arms and information in the first place ruthlessly hunt down those who do especially if they re in positions of power mathew i agree this it seems is the crux of your whole position isn t it that the us shouldn t have supported hussein and sold him arms to fight iran i agree and i agree in ruthlessly hunting down those who did or do but we did sell arms to hussein and it s a done deal now he invades kuwait so do we just sit back and say well we sold him all those arms i suppose he just wants to use them now too bad for kuwait no unfortunately sitting back and letting things be is not the way to correct a former mistake destroying hussein s military potential as we did was the right move but i agree with your statement reagan and bush made a grave error in judgment to sell arms to hussein so it s really not the gulf war you abhor so much it was the u s s and the west s shortsightedness in selling arms to hussein which ultimately made the war inevitable right if so then i agree more deleted mathew regards jim b
