WTF? My sympathies go to the bereaved too, but but how on earth does an American phone engineer being killed by an Al Quada group prove that Saddam Hussein ws a bad man with weapons of mass destruction? There is not connection here at all. Al Quada are using the volatile situation in Iraq to fight the US (cause thats what they do) and apparently murdering foreign civilians is a good way to do this (albeit from a f*cked up point of view. This situation of insurgent chaos arose as a natural consequence to the war, but has nothing at all to do with the reasons for invading Iraq in the first place.Originally posted by Alex H+12 May 2004 - 03:35--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (Alex H @ 12 May 2004 - 03:35)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'> @Hank - Well spotted.

This only goes to show, how necessary it was/ is that the the coalition made an end on Hussein's regime and they should be supported at all costs.
My sympathies to the bereaved.
The death of Nick Berg does not mean that George Bush is right, or that the coalition should be supported at all costs.
If the "cost" is torturing and humiliating Iraqi prisoners, should it be payed? Or is that the reason given for this man's death in the first place? [/b][/quote]
Al-Qaeda?...It does not exist in my opinion. These are the same people who were torturing their own people over the last...well how long was Saddam in power? No! These are just common murderers.
Perhaps your are too young to remember the pictures of dead gassed mothers clutching their dead babies, in a little mountain village in northern Iraq?
As far as "wmd" are concerned; if I buy a baseball bat and slam someone over the head, and kill them, who is to blame? ( not really a good analogy, but I suppose you get the drift)
Have you ever spoken with tortured, (Iraqi) asylum seekers or tried to help them? This is my daily work.
The shame of the West, is that the job of returning Iraq to the Iraqi people was not started shortly after mistreatment of the Iraqi's and the surrounding countries began.
I believe myself that all these crimes, that are committed in the name of Allah, or whatever name you wish to give to God, has got absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the message of the Holy Quran, and unfortunately, brings Islam, wrongly, into disrepute.
Now George, what about Tibet?
