Having just read this thread with no particular bias ( other than the usual dislike of Saddam ) I am amazed how many ppruners allow their relative biases to completely consume their thought processes.
Why cant you admit to yourselves the facts. Suicide bombers are scum, Israeli responses are unjustifiable ( in my opinion a regime Hitler would have been proud of ). Hussein and his ilk will ( hopefully ) fry in hell but likewise there is no justification for any harassment of civilian aircraft while airborn whether in Russia, Iraq or in the Ockham hold.
Unless MO'L is aboard.
