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.




I was not mourning Saddam's sons, I was appalled at the way the U.S. Army publicly displayed the dead bodies. That violates rules of warfare and common decency, to invade a country and publicly display the killed sons of the deposed leader.

BTW, I have for a long time wondered why the Bush (or Obama, for that matter) administration and the media never kept a tab in front of us about things pre- and post- invasion, like electrical power, schools, hospitals and doctors, potable water, jobs, average income, crime rates, etc. as the rebuilding went on. Numbers may be out there, I've not searched hard, but they certainly weren't put in front of the public.
