Obviously he gave it to Osama Bin Laden and the ghost of Hitler so
they could carry out 9/11.
$48B is doubtful. Source?

He wasn't harmless, he had $48B stashed away that was supposed to have
been used in the "Oil for Food/Medicine" program. None of that money went
to what it was meant to, and what do you suppose he was going to do with
it?

OTOH when dealing with a harmless 2-bit dictator, like Saddam Hussein,
you see a problem, support war against his country and end up turning
Iran and Pakistan into big problems.

When you're dealing with an Iranian l00natic, I see no problem.
When you're dealing with a nation like Pakistan, that at any time could be
overrun by Taliban, I see no problem.

Guess for the same reason the USA tells other countries not to develop
nukes while they have them theirselves?
Who is the USA to decide such things?
And, in the same line of thought, who is China to decide such things for
other countries.
This is where political connections come into play, it isn't easy.

Why should China tell us not to caryy out missle defense tests? They did
one of their own last year!

China is telling the US to not carry out missile defense tests. The
US should respond by emphasizing that the satellite will be
intercepted only to protect human life, and this will be no missile
test because the missile system has already been perfected. As long
as GW Bush behaves toward China the way he has toward Africa, there
won't be any problems.

Missile-ready China warns U.S. against plan to destroy spy satellite
By David Lague
Published: February 18, 2008
BEIJING:
In response to a U.S. plan to shoot down a malfunctioning spy satellite,
China has warned against threats to security in outer space, without
mentioning its own successful anti-satellite missile test last year.
But, OK for China:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6289519.stm
China has confirmed it carried out a test that destroyed a satellite, ...
China is now only the third country to shoot something down in space
Who do they think they're talking to?
