There was never any real suggestion over here that Saddam was in any way buddies with Osama. There was a very real risk that if Saddam ever wanted to "dispose" of some things we didn't want him to have, Osama would have paid money Saddam might have found hard to resist for them. I think the difference between Tony and Bush was that Bush portrayed (and I think, possibly even truly believed) this supposition as fact and something already happening, while Tony said "it's something we need to worry about happening in the future"). I'm not particularly standing up for the decision to go to war, I've been saying it was done for all the wrong reasons, and that it would turn out as it indeed has turned out, right since the start (before they were officially thinking about going to war I was saying they were going to, Bush was obviously itching for a defeatable enemy after 9/11, and Afghanistan wasn't good enough). I'm just saying Tony was a little more moderate, and fractionally more honest (but not enough for you to really call it honest) in his approach.<br /><br />I'm not sure Kerry is going to be "good" for the world (I have a lot of respect for Clinton, for all his failings as a man and a husband, he did a very good job of leading the worlds only superpower in my opinion), but I'm certain he can't be any worse for it than Bush is. And I'm not sure the world will survive another term with him in charge.Sarumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16247792353203130847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849944.post-1092034647196484432004-08-09T07:57:00.000+01:002004-08-09T07:57:00.000+01:00Check out Tell An American to Vote.
