215. No worries about the grammar.
There is NO evidence that OBL was "offered up" because in fact he was not.

Iraq was secular under Saddam Hussien; had been secular for over 2 decades. Again, that is a fact. You can have your own opinions, but you cannot have your own facts.

There is actually a reason Clinton & the UN and the rightwing in America didn't want to tackle the Rwanda problem. SOme day if you're interested I'm more than happy to give you links to CREDIBLE sources.

You may dispute your OPINIONS on Iraq all you like. Your opinion that Iraq is a humanitarian intervention, for example. That's just your opinion. In FACT, the experts whose entire lives are spent dealing with just that issue say Iraq is NOT a humanitarian intervention, the Iraqis themselves disagree about invading their nation being a humanitarian intervention (and after all, their opinion really is the only one that counts on such an issue, wouldn't you agree?) and common sense would clearly show that invasion and occupation and killing 100,000+ civilians can hardly be called humanitarian. Why are the Iraqi people, 2 years later, still doing worse for food and heat and electricity and security and safety than they did before the invasion under Hussein? Some "humanitarian intervention", making people worse off than they were.

Now I can fully document every statement I made in the above paragraph by very credible sources; leftwing, rightwing, American, Iraqi and other. That doesn't mean you must change your opinion, but it does seem to show a very closed mind to cling to the opinion that invading & occupying Iraq was a humanitarian intervention against all such evidence to the contrary.

You may PREFER to believe that invading & occupying and killing tens of thousands of human beings was for "humanitarian" purposes. But it's NOT FACT and to argue as if it were fact is dishonest. To call me & other posters names because we call you on your false statements you present as facts is also dishonest.

Start with the actual facts and discuss opinions from there.
