in mind that the United States is also harboring terrorists, funding their

teaching them how to fly.


To what aviation students are you referring?

Apparently a lot of people believe [Saddam] did [attack us] by paying
rewards to suicide bombers' families, firing missiles at our planes,

What planes did he attack? I believe they were all planes that violated
his soverign airspace.


A pair of no-fly-zones were enforced as a consequence of Iraq's defeat
after having invaded Kuwait. I'm not sure that "sovereign" applies in
that case, given that the no-fly-zones were to ensure the enforcement of
the cease fire to which Iraq had agreed.
