Saddam had operational ties with al qaeda. He funded and harbored terrorists. He was planning on arming himself with evolved weapons systems, including chemical and biological. He had an arrangment with al qaeda to manufacture WMD, or at least had the desire to feed his egomania by taking part in such a delivery of WMD.
BTW...I know "hememony" is a very important word in the liberal lexicon, along with "unilateral", "Halliburton", "solidarity", and "comrade", but once again, your understanding of its meaning and usage is off.
Main Entry: he·ge·mo·ny
Pronunciation: hi-'je-m&-nE, -'ge-; 'he-j&-"mO-nE
Function: noun
Etymology: Greek hEgemonia, from hEgemOn leader, from hEgeisthai to lead -- more at SEEK
: preponderant influence or authority over others : DOMINATION
- heg·e·mon·ic /"he-j&-'mä-nik, "he-g&-/ adjective
Hegemony would be a word to describe liberalism, socialism or fundamentalist Islam...Not a response to it. Hegemony would suggest unprovoked domination, not provoked response.
