Um…..the people suffering right now in Iraq shouldn’t be suffering because they were not one of the hijackers? I can’t believe this crap passes so easily. If the writer really wanted to bring in historical events to discuss hardships to the Iraqi people the writer could have led with any number of events, including the initial imposition of sanctions and their effect on the Iraqi people as their leader refused to do what was needed to end them.

Well who’s tyranny are we talking about here? I think a Kurd (if there are any left) might prefer the current “tyranny” to the former tyranny. And what’s with this “remanded” stuff? As if the people of Iraq are completely powerless, unable to do anything but be "remanded" somewhere?
