it strikes me as propaganda to insist that iraq was involved with terrorists despite all evidence to the contrary. warring nations always like to cast the enemy in an increasingly bad light and to gain support for the war the bush administration made and continues to make every attempt to associate iraq and saddam with terrorists. this is a blatant attempt to associate iraq and the 9-11 terrorists without any evidence. saddam was a dictator who did horrible things in the name of power and probably not a very nice guy to have over for dinner but none of these things make him a terrorist. we cannot continue to call anyone who we don't like a terrorist; it trivializes the suffering of real victims of terrorism. I think the bush administration knows that when most people in America hear the word "terrorist" they immediately think of 9-11 and they have exploited this association in an effort to justify their war.

You stated that Iraq had no ties to terrorism not that they had no ties to the 9/11 attacks.
Hussein has been a public supporter of Palestinian terrorism and Shiite terror groups acting in Iran for more than a decade. Iraq is second only to Iran on the State Department's list of States that sponsor terrorism.
