There weren’t any there to begin the war with. The Iraq Survey Group found that Iraq had neither produced nor stockpiled WMDs since UN sanctions were imposed in 1991, nor did Iraq have any stocks of WMDs in 2003. Nor did Hans Blix’s teams find any evidence of WMDs in Iraq before the US invaded. Bush lied to you again and again about the case for war.

With all do respect; along with the murderous conventional weaponry used by Saddaam’s gangster forces against the Kurds as well as against the Shiites in the south, what do you suppose the “strange mystery gas” was that he had used on the mass of innocent people in these areas…saved up toxic flatulence? If poisonous gases are not weapons of indiscriminate mass destruction, what is?
It must be well remembered that he regularly used these lethal WMDs against Iranians during his territorial war with them. He must have quite a manufacturing arm and continual stockpile in order to conduct such extensive operations…at any rate it should be something to think about before we keep casting “Michael Moorish” fantasms that there weren’t any there to begin with.

Kurdistan was already free of Saddam since 1991. I don’t see why a second war was necessary for Iraqi Kurds to be “free,” if you call being under the thumbs of the Barzani or Talabani clans is true freedom.
I also don’t see why 2,100+ Americans had to die so that the Kurds could grab Kirkuk and or be more prosperous. A lot easier ways to accomplish that than what we did and are doing.

“Myopic focus on the large chunks of the country which are in chaos? Must be because they’re anti-freedom or something“

Wait a minute! Are you telling us that this nation that can’t be trusted to make democracy work is capable of actual culture?
Next you’ll be telling us that people there love their children and want a better life, too! Or that we’re winning!
Praise be to God! Peace on Earth and Good Will to Men Everywhere! [For the atheists, in the interests of multiculturalism, Praise be to Nothing!]

Considering that the Jewish population of Iraq is in the three-digit range, it is highly unlikely any were at that concert.
Nice thought, but the Jewish populations of Arab lands were pretty much driven out post 1948. 124,000 fled Iraq alone between 1949 and 1951.
Half of Israel’s population today are Sephardic Jews–Jews who came from Arab lands, or their children and grandchildren. It’s a fact the world likes to ignore.

Barry: Myopic focus on the large chunks of the country which are in chaos?
Nyah, nyah! My myopia is better than your myopia!
Barry, thanks for the laugh. ;-)
