yamaraj, do you consider saddam and osama innocent?
They're not innocent, but then who is? Is America innocent? Is Britain? What about Japan? Until Osama fought against communist USSR in Afghanistan, he was kind of a hero among CIA officials in that region. They provided all kinds of support to him, including money and weapons. By the time USSR pulled out of Afghanistan, Osama has outlived his usefulness. He was now considered evil and terrorist. Remember, "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter".
The irony is that terrorism has always been USA's secret weapon in their game of balance of power. They have supported terrorists anywhere and everywhere. By supporting Pakistan on the Kashmir issue, they even supported terrorism in India for a long time.
Same goes for Saddam. USA provided all kinds of weapons - including chemical and biological, in the war against Iran. Saddam was a sponsored terrorist in the region. But as he grew bold, and attacked Kuwait, he was suddenly an "evil regime" and supporter of all terrorism in the World. He was executed without a fair trial in the Internation Court. Why? Because he knew a lot of things that could embarass USA. He was certainly not executed for his crimes, but to save the face of USA. Likewise, Osama is only a scapegoat in the dirty game of 9/11.
