I don't know if they are currently sponsoring terrorism, but in the recent past i.e 20 years they have given aid to Al Queada, the Taliban, Iraq, Iran, general Norriega and other countries and organisations. I will for you find the web site which acknowledges the fact it was in the presidency of Bill (the lad) Clinton who stopped the giving of Biological + and or chemical agents to Iraq.

As for my thinking the forthcoming war to be wrong here goes.

Saddam hasn’t attacked his own people for over ten years and the possible attacks have not been confirmed as being from Iraq. Again the evidence for this is that the type of agent supposed to have been used could not have been disseminated in such an area to cause the casualties it was supposed to. I will try to find the views on the net for you. To curb Saddam surely the threat of a nuclear strike from america or Britain, or France or any other nuclear power would make him think again, and surely this threat would go a long way to making him think twice about selling/giving his technology to others. A war with an Arabic nation from a none Arabic nation is not welcomed in the Arabic league. I haven’t seen any evidence of wrongdoing from the governments of either america or Britain, except a report from Britain which happens to look very much like a report published by Janes over 5 years ago. This to me looks like america is wanting to know what has happened to the chemical and biological agents it gave to them years ago. The ones they gave to test on Iran. Who has given america and Britain the right to say how someone should run their country, to america Osama bin Laden is a terrorist but when you look at it from the other side of the coin then america is to them a terrorist and what ever you do to them they will do to yourself and with the same vigour. You cannot beat terrorism by the bullet but by winning the hearts and minds of the population who protect them. Dropping bombs on them is not a very good way of winning hearts and minds now is it. The only threat Saddam/terrorist can be to america is by getting into america and using a chemical, biological or nuclear weapon, and they are more likely to come from the former Soviet Union where there are already thousands of warheads lying around and some very poor people guarding them, to the extent that america gives $4 billion to Russia to help protect itself. If america wanted to be the world leader in politics then surely a magnanimous gesture (even if only outwards) to the Iraqi people would go a long way to other authorities believing in the sincerity or america. As opposed to the do as we say or we bomb you attitude George bush has shown up to now.

The bombing of Afghanistan only spread the shit pile of Al Queada around the globe so the intelligence forces have to spend more money gathering intelligence on the new leaders of Al Queada.

I suppose that will do for the time being, if you do find a site we can chat on I will willingly chat away as I have a German who wishes to chat as well.
