"I have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns. I met him to try and bring about an end to sanctions, suffering and war, and on the second of the two occasions, I met him to try and persuade him to let Dr. Hans Blix and the United Nations weapons inspectors back into the country...."

I hope more of that gets out- our government is full hypocrites....

This reminds me of what we did to Guatemala in the 50's with United Fruit- We wanted bananas to be easier and cheaper for Americans, we overthrew the governement and set up a puppet. Now we want oil more affordable for Americans - onward to Iran and Iraq!
