sorry to p!ss on yer chips JBG, but the cruel irony with Hitler is that he was actually born a roman catholic

My thoughts on all this? Same as you about the war, changed my mind now that the truth has come out about WMD's
As for Saddam, the world (including Iraq) is a better place without him so to an extent, the end has justified the means
As for the insurgents they do not represent their religion. They may claim to, but in fact they do nothing more than twist their holy book's teachings to suit their own purposes.
Much like Dubya when he preaches his evangelical "good vs evil" bullsh!t
It's not a case of good vs evil, its good vs a minority of a*seholes who hide behind a spurious veil of religion for their own personal gain
As for Israel vs the Arab world I really don't know what the answer is, or indeed if there ever will be one
