It was down on the list quite considerably but since I guess its OK to allow a guy in violation of 17 UN Security Council resolutions to systematically compensate the families of suicide bombers in Israel since these bombers were not a threat to America (see March Hare post above). He'd been getting passes for years, I guess we should've given him one there too like March Hare does.

Defying the UN doesn't exactly work as an excuse for the war. The invasion itself was in defiance of the UN. That penny-ante gesture of throwing a few bucks to the suicide bombers family wasn't a good thing, but it's nothing compared to what some other folks in the area contribute to that cause.
Perhaps if George had invited Saddam to the ranch and held his hand on the way in to the house this could have all been avoided?
