I remember an earlier discussion, on this board, about Saddam where Chuck expressed his horror and sadness at the pictures of his sons on the morticians slab. I didn’t say it then but that hit me as ironic that a man half a world away could feel so much more pain and angst over their deaths, than Saddam was capable of feeling himself.

Is there any doubt he ordered the deaths of these Kurdish people? Then ordered them to be interred in to that mass grave? Is there any doubt he kept tens of thousands of political (perceived or real) enemies in prisons, so he could torture, and murder them at his own discretion? Is there any doubt he allowed his sons to keep their (perceived or real) enemies in their own personal prisons so they could torture and murder them at their own discretion?

Saying Iraq was better off under Saddam Hussein is the same thing as saying the USSR was better off under Josef Stalin, or Germany was better off under Adolph Hitler. Why, because they were all malignant narcissists incapable of any kind of human empathy.

You people should be ashamed of yourselves, for letting your Bush hate prop up such a despicable human being. When the only real problem you had is that Bush took him out without your personal permission.
