Based on what Israel has been doing to Palestinian civilians for decades now...compared to what Iraq has done...I'd say the people of that region have more to fear from Israeli weapons of mass destruction, of which it get's its pick from the American arsenal...than they do from Iraqi weapons of any kind...which are cobbled together from bits and pieces here and there.
Let's destroy them all (the weapons)...or recognize that Muslims in the MidEast have good reason to fear ,as well as resent, policies of the Israeli government. Nothing personal...they would have resented anyone who stole their lands and continues to take more and more of it by forcing the Palestinians to react to their provocations, then punish them further for it...AND gobble up another parcel of land in the process.
The so-called "excellent deal" they offered Arafat was no such thing...here's another "excellent" deal, one for the Israelis...go bomb the Germans...after all they killed a lot more of you than any Muslim ever did. You'd be happier in Europe anyway since you're Europeans...and it would be poetic justice. The Palestinians never did a damn thing to you...nothing that wasn't done six million times more by the Christians.
