My logic concerning Israel and Iraq is absolutely NOT flawed beyond belief. What I said was that America's reason for invading Iraq is supposed to be that "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction". Israel has weapons of mass destruction and is willing (believe me) to use them against the Palestinian people. Okay; I made a mistake by saying that they are using WoMD against Palestinians, I admit it. I should have said that just having weapons of mass destruction is reason enough for America to attack another country. This is just the same as Bush's "everyone who is not with us, is against us". Mind you, I'm not saying that Saddam Hussein should not be tackled. I'm just saying that if you do, don't be stupid and name the correct reason.
Israel is no more a saint than you and I, John D Harris. Keep that in mind.
And Johnny; I understand what you're saying but you can't tell me that Israel only kills guilty people. I've heard countless times how Palestinian civilians have been killed in actions committed by the Israelian army. I don't like it AT ALL what happens down there, and I'm on no one's side, but I do wish for each and everyone to be treated equally.

*SIGH* First off Link, you're skewing things in a *VERY* radical way. The US' reason for invading Iraw is *NOT* just 'He's got WoMD'. It's 'He's got WoMD, he has used them in the past and we believe he will again, since he has no qualms about using them on his own people, he's a thread to world peace and stability, he supplies, funds, and supports terrorists, and he's not complying with the rules established by the International community, when he LOST A WAR'. You have to take the WHOLE package, not pare it up into little sound bytes and spin it to fit your point.
Re: your point to Johnny. Erm...as the esteemed Mr Harris has already(very correctly) pointed out, sometimes, in military actions, CIVILIANS DIE!! It's a tragedy, but it's also the reality of war. However, the point that you seem to be conviently skipping over(since it obviously doesn't help, and in fact, totally derails, your arguement) is that the Palestinians started the whole damn thing BY BOMBING CIVILIANS!!!!! The suicide bombers dont attack military targets, they attack shopping malls, and bistros, and schools! They dont use soldiers and fight wars, they hide in the shadows like cowards and attack innocent people. BIG DIFFERENCE bud!
