This fact may have got lost in the media spin - but was there any connection between iraq, alqui eda or terriorists  ? |
Not directly, although I am certain Saddam would have passed any WMD he managed to develop to terrorists given the chance, on the basis that it would suit his own ends to throw London or New York into turmoil with a 'dirty' bomb or something chemical or biological.
But even this is not really the original topic you alluded to in your post earlier - the thread title is asking whether anti-Americanism is on the up because it is fashionable to be anti-American. Some of the unsavoury things the USA has done, which have been posted in this thread, do indeed lend weight to the argument that it is not mere fashion to be anti-American just now.
But then, the fact that a great many people (some of them in this thread) seem completely unable to acknowledge the fact that an evil situation existed in Iraq and has now been dealt with. This would tend to lend weight to the idea that such people are determinedly anti-American for some other reason, determined as they are to spend all their energies criticising the US while making little effort at all to condemn a murderous dictator or Al Quaeda terrorists.
