Saddam was a bad guy. But he certainly poised no threat to us here in

Sorry Scot, I have to disagree with you. Although Saddam no longer had
the capacity to mobilize large armies (Kuwait) and extend his armed
forces across Iraqi borders (Scud missiles) he was a major supporter
and financier of international terrorism (Suicide bombers).

Hamas are not international terrorists. What international terrorism
did he finance? Be specific.

You obviously don't understand, JC. When people like Bush and
JerseyMike say "Terrorists!" we're supposed to crap our pants and run
for cover, as well as give up any sense of rational judgment, give
away our Constitutional rights, and let BushCo attack and invade
whomever they want to. And buy into the patently ridiculous notion
that Saddam's mostly-for-show support of Palestinian terrorists
somehow demonstrates that Saddam constituted a "clear and present
danger" to the United States and it's citizens. Yeah I know that
makes no sense, but remember: they're Terrorists!!!

So be afraid, be very afraid.
