i'm so sick of self-loathing being stylish--the guy was one of the 5 most brutal and despotic rulers out there. you can argue other causes were more pressing, not that removing a ruler sharing the mental profile as most of the "evil" figures in history was in any way wrong. gassing his own people, torturing soccer teams for losing, even fishing with dynamite---he's a paranoid shithead with the ability to do the unspeakable to anyone, friend, citizen, and with a real nuclear program-you. they found enough stuff, despite the time he had to get rid of it. kofi and vaginal UN commisions and diplomacy will always get their bluff called by guys like saddam, it's a shame we took him alive.
