Have you not seen the videos of public executions, throwing people off of roofs, whippings, and every other depraved practice, carried out for the benefit of the regime's thugs, right there on public display?

You don't need a nuclear plant to make nukes, or chemical weapons, or biological weapons. Intel, the same thing you're going with in Iran, said Iraq was much closer to the bomb than Iran...

I'll face THIS: you're not a Kuwaiti, a marsh Arab, a Kurd, a female, a Shiite, or anybody with enough of a conscience to speak out against a hideous government tyrrany.
