This sentence: "''What changed the equation was the terrorist attacks of September 2001, which led the administration to the belief that a hostile regime in Iraq, possibly possessing weapons of mass destruction and possibly sponsoring international terrorism, was no longer acceptable in the context of the war against terrorism which began on September 11.''" is nothing more and nothing less than the American party line. At the very least it should be made clear that this is what the US administration ''claims''. It should not be stated as if it is known fact, because it is not known fact. There are other things in the article that are also just claims, such as that there were two attempts to kill Saddam before he was captured. Incidentally, what is the source of the story about his mother trying to abort him? It smells like myth. If if doesn't come from a family member, I would doubt it. --[[User:Zero0000|Zero]] 03:21, 18 Jan 2004 (UTC) |

I must admit that I had forgotten all about my proposed alternative |

to the Saddam article. Thanks to Zero for reminding me. I don't think it's up to me to replace the existing article with my alternative, although from memory everyone (except Wik of course) who has commented on it has said that it is superior. Could we get some new opinions? [[User:Adam Carr|Adam]] 05:29, 18 Jan 2004 (UTC) |
