   You dont believe in torture unless its documented by photographs?

   I sure don't like the USAnian attitude to the rest of the world.   
   What the fuck do thousands of Iraqi prisoners have to do with the WTC?   
   Even if you beieve that Saddam was connected to the al qaedea (which he   
   was not) you would have ahard time connecting the general population   
   with that organization or its creed.

   You still have a problem with language. This is not a SITE it's a   
   newsgroup. If you don't like ti here, go away.

   Actually this belief seems to be a subset of your hegemonistic   
   propaganda. I certainly do not believe that military invasion of a   
   foreging country cinstutes peace.   
      
   The ting is that american atrocitiesincreases the rage in the arab and   
   mullim world. Al Qaeda had little presence in Iraq before the invasion,   
   They are now all over the place.
