Anyway, it's common american-enemies policy to sponsor terrorism, no matter what their politic background is. Iraq isn't an exception.

It’s common American policy to sponsor or even commit terrorism against its enemies.
For example the mujahedin in Afghanistan,
Giving Saddam all his weapons of mass destruction when he was fighting against Iran,
Mass torture and Murder by the CIA and American military in Vietnam.
Funding the Contras.
aiding the attempt to overthrow Chavez in venuzsala,
Overthrowing Allende in chile and replaceing him with a dictatorship responsible for the deaths of over 30,000 people.
Killing over 2000 afghan civilians.
It’s very hard to tell who are the real terrorists sometimes.[/QB][/QUOTE]That's true. But you must choose sometimes the lesser evil... and that's not saddam, osama or NKorea. Also USA policy towards CIA sponsored terrorism has changed in the last years.
As to the Afghan civilians, nobody ever said that wars are a beautiful thing and bombs make distinction between evil and innocent... but mind also that Afghanistan is in peace for the first time since I don't know when...
As to the weapons to the mujahdeen (spelling?), that was not terrorism, that was resistance, not terribly different from the French or italian or greek or etc. against the Nazis. Mujhadeen against soldiers, not against civilians.
