Is this a trick question? 
I say "I don't know" when I don't know. I mock things that are funny, dumb, and/or don't make any sense.
It's common knowledge that Saddam sponsored terrorism.
"Common knowledge"? Whose? Bush's? Yours? The funny thing is that there is 0, zilch, nada, niente proof that the
jerkoffmeister himself (Saddy-Huss) sponsored any type of terrorism. As far as the "common knowledge" you're referring to, well, you base your opinion on what you're told by the media, like 99.99% of us
suckas, so that excerpt can just as easily be replaced with "media misinformation tells me that..."
Sadam did terrorize his population, but so did we. Funny thing is a couple of years ago, when Irak was at war with Iran, he was our
paisan/
down wit us. He was even paid a visit by Rumsfeld and the rest of the "hawks".
All of a sudden he decides to stop buying weapons (chemical, biological, etc.) from us, decides to invade Kuwait on legitimate claims that the kuwaitis were drilling into Iraqi territory, which is true BTW, around the Ratqa oil field area in fact, and
he no longa ou boy. This can just as easily be replaced with Indonesia, Angola, Central American states (El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panamá), etc. The same pattern all over the place.
Dictator is our friend because he represents democracy (translation: our business interests) and a couple of years later, when the friendship (translation: our business relationship) is done, he is the worst
muddafucka to come along since Lucifer. Well, I ain't buying it
no mo.
I neither trust the majority of the US media nor the US government. Gotti used to call the US government the "alphabetized thugs" (IRS, CIA, FBI, NSA, etc.), and coming from a murderer thug like himself, well, it's a compliment to say the least (meaning
they is beating us at our own game neegga!), for those who know "the game".
So either we're true to ourselves and recognize that the US government is carrying, and has carried, out terrorist operations in some countries around the globe (usually the ones unable to defend themselves though) or keep the hypocritical game up until people will not only land planes into buildings, but do much worse. It's our call, although if you make this a "us", meaning the US government with the pasive complacency of the population, vs. the rest of the world, meaning 5 billion souls... Let's just say nature understands us humans from a "safety is in the numbers" standpoint.
You may either believe Bush (or the real president: Cheney)/Barbara Walters or your own guts. The later is right 99% of the time. When I travel outside the US I always make a point to distinguish the US population from its government, because the inmense majority of Americans are warm-hearted and want better for everyone.
Adios.
