RTFI- you need to take a reality pill. This regime in Iraq sponsors terrorism, exterminates its own minorities, takes over neighbouring countries on a whim. What more proof do you need that a certain gentleman should depart and the country be welcomed back to contribute its bit to a peaceful world. Just support the sanctions. The fact that the regime is the current darling of the left is unfortunate, but the Taliban also appears to be, so we can ignore them. Why wasn't that aeroplane shot down then- DID it ignore the no-fly zone or not? IF it did, then I resent my taxpayers money being spent on just watching them flout regs!
