    Default Say you ain't glad that Saddam was defeated!

    PRAGUE (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein ordered his secret agents to attack the Prague headquarters of U.S. run Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to end broadcasting to Iraq, a Czech intelligence service spokesman said Sunday.

    The attack was ordered by the then Iraqi leader in 2000 and Iraqi intelligence agents planned to use weapons including rocket propelled grenades, Kalashnikov rifles and submachine guns, spokesman Jan Subert told Czech TV Nova.

    Should not we thank president Bush for making Europe a safer place?

    I can say it's a good thing that Saddam is far from this world now.

    Still doesn't justify an illegal invasion. Bush, his administration and the ones of the 4 other countries that perpetrated it should be prosecuted for war crimes.

    Basing some moral discourse and justifying these actions on an hypothetical attack is very deceitful. That's called sophistic rhetoric. Remember the "Weapons of Mass Destruction"?

    Actually, Saddam had targetted FOX news for destruction.

    The Bush administartion caught wind of that plot and new that without the propagand.....er...I mean......insightful news reporting of the FOX conglomerate, their days would be numbered.

    I'm not sorry that Saddam is in hell but I am sorry about all of the American and allied lives lost in the process, not to mention Iraqi non combatants. From a value standpoint I think the world would have been better off if we hadn't taken the focus off of the original mission to get the perpetrators of 9-11 and secure Afghanistan from becoming a terrorist haven.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
