Bin Laden is a Saudi Arabian, and is the Guy (supposedly) hiding out
in Pakistan while the UN has Troops in Afghanistan.
Sadam Hussein is the Guy who was removed from Iraq. Sadam Hussein
is the guy who is suppose to have killed many of his own countryman in a
gas-attack against the Kurds.
Bin Laden may or may not have ever been in Iraq....Bin Laden is accused
in the 911 thing....and Sadam Hussain was removed from Iraq (& yeah, he
was a total Douchebag) because Iraq's invasion satisfied many issues at
the same time....and Sadam Hussein wasn't leaving his country & would
be relatively easy to find compared to Bin Laden.
America funded (provided weapons to) Bin Laden when he was fighting in
Afghanistan (against the Russians) back in the '80's. Much of Bin Laden's
funding was self-funded (he comes from a VERY wealthy family), as well
as other sympathetic Saudi's, and eventually other fanatical extremists.
The Canadian guy you speak of (perhaps Retired Leiutenant-General
Romeo Dallaire with respect to Rwanda and not Iraq?) was where?
