That was quite a report from Neil Macdonald to Peter Mansbridge tonight. First the film clip showing Rumsfeld shaking the glad hand with Saddam Hussein. But of course that was in the days when Rumsfeld was a private businessman promoting U-S-A industry, including chemical and biological exports, to Iraq. I wonder if Spain and Bulgaria have read the full-length issue of the Christian Science Monitor Special Report from 1988 titled "Poison on the Wind: The New Threat of Chemical and Biological Weapons". The entire 56 page issue was on this subject. Why was Rumsfeld in Iraq and glad handing Saddam Hussein? Well, the answer is given on page 6: "The companies the Monitor found to be Iraq's suppliers were a mixed group. Some were small specialty suppliers. Others were trading companies, with few fixed assets, that have since gone out of business. At least one was a subsidiary of a major US corporation." If Saddam Hussein is a war criminal for using chemical weapons against his Iranian and Kurdish Secessionist enemies, then Rumsfeld is his accomplice, some (with obviously twisted logic) might say. The attitude of the US toward chemical weapons is summed up on page 4: "People say that coughing your lungs out in three minutes because of nerve agent is an immoral way of dying, while bleeding to death in 12 because your leg has been shot off is somehow better. Those arguments leave me cold, says Col. Robert Orton, head of the (US) Army's chemical weapons modernization program." So Rumsfeld was actually serving as an angel of mercy, saving all those Kurdish secessionists and Iranians from having their legs shot off in a prolonged war and substituting a short and nasty chemical war. Indeed, wasn't that the rationale used for the US dropping atomic bombs on Japan? Perhaps then when it comes to war crime trials for Rumsfeld et al, the UN War Crimes Court of the future should be lenient. Ian Macdonald jumped to conclusions when he said, after the Rumsfeld-Saddam clip that the US was "actually helping them" (the supposed war criminals). Appearances can be deceiving. When the US had its leading nuclear-weapon equipped war ships in Vancouver and Halifax harbours in 1995 while Quebec was casting its lawful secessionist vote, that was just a warning of what a bloody conventional civil war could unleash (the same logic used against Japan). BTW we had the USS Constellation in Vancouver Harbour. But the point is that when Rumsfeld supplies weapons of mass destruction for war, even if he supplies them to Saddam Hussein, he is the good-doer and Saddam is the bad-doer for using them. How could Ian Macdonald not understand the obvious reasonableness of this?
