Dan,
Talk about or threaten Chinese doctrine all you need to but remember, the Chinese possess bigger bombs than did Bush or Obama now.
First off, Kuwaiti government was using their wealth to manipulate Iraqi economy and monetary stability in an extremely deleterious manner. Saddam was justified using force against Kuwait. Just another excuse for American invasion.
Saddam' use of the WMDs that the American government gave him were aimed at Iranians up on the Northern border where Kurds were the victims of being caught in the crossfire of the skirmishes between Iraq and Iran militants. Hello! America invaded Iraq for control of oil fields and resources! Bush cronie corporations and subsidiaries profited as do the armament dealers. And the mentally insane Bush thought it OK to invade because
" Saddam tried to kill my daddy". Should have left Saddam alone as he was the secular dictator who was keeping factions and tribes in the region from going at each others throats. The blood of one million Iraqis is on American hands given our influence and involvement in Southwest Asia over the past eighteen years. A bit more damage than Saddam ever dreamed of doing I'd say.

First off I don't accept your figures.
Second China kills far more than that every year in it's labor camps
and people just plain dragged out of their homes and executed.
Tienaman square was a much bigger issue.
Third the Chinese Democratic people imprisoned and killed did not go
out and blow up people, kidnap people executing some of them just for
the sin of being the wrong nationality or religion.
Fourth Saddam had a proven record of using WMDs. He used them against
Iran and against his own people. He clearly had intent of gaining more
and would have used them had he done so. Saddam broke the terms of the
treaty he signed to avoid invasion of Iraq and fired upon US and UK
aircraft. THIS was why we were invading Iraq not because of 9-11. Bush
was an idiot and Cheney used the Iraq war to enrich himself and his
friends but that doesn't change the need to take Saddam out. Doing
the
right thing for the wrong reasons doesn't change the value in doing
it.
Next who said Iran was currently going for BIG bombs. They have a
stated intention to be a nuclear power and have openly threatened
Israel. What more do you need? When they start WW III are you still
going to make excuses for them?
You may hate Texans but I think I speak for the majority of Texans
when I say you can take your Swastikas and stick them somewhere sun
don't shine. Texas doesn't want or need Nazis. If your path was
followed it would result in piles of dead. People killed for their
religion, skin color or other meaningless traits.
If nothing else this proves exactly what I started out saying. The
topic is divisive, unproductive at best will remove members from the
list and organization. This helps promote DD in what way?
