You need to quit projecting your personal limitations on other people. Unlike you, I’m not the type of person who can dismiss the out right murder of so many women and children simply because it suits my political beliefs.


@Chuck

You still felt worse than Saddam who felt nothing at all. Stalin and Hitler kept the schools open and the trains running on time. I mean if that’s the only criteria you have for someone being a good leader or person. The reason they took the pictures/video in the first place was probably to confirm their identity. What do you expect when you embed media with the troops, the pictures were leaked? Weren’t you one of the people calling for the dead US troops to be shown on TV when they came back home? Seems like a double standard to me. Yes civilians die in war, it’s a terrible fact, but the US didn’t go in there with the intention to murder them, Saddam did.


@ivor

I don’t think they let anyone from the Nazi party back in control of anything in Germany, why would they do that for the Baath Party? How could they trust anyone from that party? How could they get the support of the Shiite majority, with the same people who have been subjugating them for years, still in power?


@Free

I’m not excusing the reasons or even bringing them up, for starting this war. I’m simply not excusing the death of these Kurdish people and lamenting what a great guy Saddam was because I believe Bush is evil. I know what Saddam felt because he was a malignant narcissist and there are certain behaviors inherent in people with this condition. Lack of any empathy at all is the main characterization. I mean if he gave a rats ass about his sons, why weren’t they as equally protected as him? Why weren’t they with him?
