This Has To Be Asked

   In light of [1]this comment which suggests that our presence in Iraq
   has to do with our concern for Arabs and Muslims, I have to ask: how
   many of you feel guilty for the actions of Reagan and Clinton vis a
   vis Iraq?

   Is there any part of you that is driven to save Arabs and Muslims in
   Iraq due to guilt caused by a President who provided nerve-gas capable
   helicopters to Saddam, and another President whose Secretary of State
   admitted on 60 minutes that killing half a million Iraqis was
   acceptable? Guilt, anyone?

   Or is the desire to save Arabs and Muslims driven only by the fact
   that Saddam was evil?

   Anyone feel any guilt? It's a yes/no question, though you can
   rhapsodize as necessary.
