"Shawn documents how some of the $10 billion obtained illegally by Hussein as part of the oil-for-food program between 1997 and 2002 was used to fund families of Palestinians suicide bombers."

You probably don't consider this sponsoring terrorism, but I do.
Adios.
You go into a country (Irak,) you fail to topple the establishment, you kill thousands of people and hundreds of our soldiers die in the process. You retreat, impose the crudest embargo known to mankind so far, which kills thousands of women and children and has an only goal: to prevent a decline in the production of oil (hence no sudden price hikes).
Once the embargo has killed plenty of people and the leadership of the country fails to obey our orders (hey! It's the benefit of being the-ruthless-ruler of your own country I guess,) you set paralels over which this guy's planes can't fly (which coincide, surprise!, with the location of the oil fields,) you force him to relinquish all his WMD, which he does, according to the UN inspectors.
After all of this, you tell me that the guy is breaking the rules by paying Hamas' widows and relatives the money to bury the 5000 remains of their sons and daughters? And
to prove it all you post a link to an extreme right website in which the first thing you see is a huge cross, a banner with a picture of the Bible on it and a skank wearing a t-shirt with the
Che Guevara logo in a circle and a line going through it? Would you happen to have more sources? Anything to the left of "Hitler is God" party would be fine (I'm lowering the bar considerably here).
By the same token, what would you consider the following:
1.
Nicaragua (thousands killed by the US-backed Guatemalan government);
2.
Guatemala (200,000 killed by the US-backed Guatemalan government);
3.
Vietnam (hundreds of thousands dead-including US soldiers-);
4. Irak (100,000 Iraki civilians dead and thousands of US soldiers dead thanks to a piece of paper that states that Sadam paid Hamas' widows,
a drawing of a truck and a satellite photograph that shows trucks parked on one side of a square building-it could be the Costco up in Manchester for all I know. All based on a "believe me" speach.)
We're really spreading the love maaan!!!
You tell me.
