I wouldn't even say it is an irrelevancy....what I would say is that it just goes to prove that both major parties in the US (and increasingly in the UK for that matter) are so beholden to corporate interests that they will bend their policy to whatever benefits Wall Street or the financial market of your choice, dependant on your location
The US (and Europe/Russia etc) in successive Governments of whatever political persuasion, supported Hussein when it suited them. When he started to flex his own muscles, then because it suited Europe, they went one way....and more obviously annoying, the US.....long term supporter and armer of this man, decided to get all moralistic and name him as the new antichrist
I read a funny article the other day that said that Bush Junior is mentioning mass graves and how evil Saddam is.....whilst many of the bodies being found are from the Shia uprising in the early nineties that the CIA promised to support in an attempt to oust Saddam. At the last minute, the promised US helicopters and support were not forthcoming and tens of thousands were killed as a result when Saddam retaliated against his own 'insurgents' |
