Not like the USA, who merely sold tons of chemicals to Saddam, even well aware they were going to be used as chemical weapons against his people. Even after he massacred a whole village with those chemicals, the USA happily supplied him with more.
Sorry Charlie.
The biggest suppliers of weapons and materiel to Saddam Hussein were France and Russia. This was true before the first Gulf War.
The only condescension here is from the author. We're not being screwed by Cheney and Rumsfeld, who see Arafat for the duplicitous creature he is, but by Powell who is taken by the notion that he can negotiate with Islamofascists.
I have yet to see hordes of yarmulka-wearing, Torah-toting suicide bombers blowing up Palestinian children on their way to school. The Pals are getting funding and weaponry from every surrounding Arab nation, and the Palestinian Authority is paying off the families of the Islamikazes.
My only problem with the U.S. approach is that we aren't dropping our own bombs on that terrorist toad Arafat. We've given him legitimacy for entirely too long.
