...otherwise respectable businessmen into helping out and reaping profits. Like other import firms, Bennett needed delivery vehicles (in this case, fast cars), secure communications (cellular telephones), warehouses (safe houses), banking facilities (money launderers) and retailers (street dealers).

From a distance of several thousand miles, we will not witness the immense loss of life that will result; initial estimates indicate that an invasion of Kuwait will cause hundreds of thousands of deaths, even without the use of poison gas. We will not suffer the consequences of a regional escalation of the conflict; if Israel is drawn into the fray, the entire Middle East could soon be at war, perhaps nuclear war, and deaths could run to the millions...

Saddam ordered the genocidal murder with poison gas of 8000 Kurds in the town of Halabja. Saddam kidnapped over 90 members of his own dissident family, and more than 20 have been executed. Saddam executed 600 members of a Shiite opposition group in 1984. To compare Saddam Hussein to the noble Saladin would be a gross affront to Islam. To fail to oppose him would be nothing short of criminal...
