I looked all over the resource I have available to me and have not found one place where there was evidence that Saddam had connections to 9-11. There may be evidence of it. But I haven't found it. I would think that if there was proof, that it would be VERY easy to find.

I was directing my request for information at everyone here. Not just Icey.

In all this time of war discussion, you have never taken the time to truly hear in a non judgmental way, my end. So I find it laughable that you are now claiming to welcome open minds and critical thought.

The war on Iraq is not over. There are a lot of variables still at play. Like the little matter of where the hell Saddam is. There is a humanitarian crisis in Iraq that needs sorted out quickly and if you think there is not unrest in the Arab world, you would be mistaken.

I do not recall making the claim that oil prices would rise no matter what. Everyone has been saying that a short war would do wonders for oil prices. And to my knowledge, there has been no count of civilian casualities or deaths and I firmly believe their lives were considered so deeply because of world opposition to the war and the peace protests.
