It dawned on me a few weeks ago that the ANSWER has something in common with Saddam. Saddam is a Ba'athist a Socialist party. These guys can not stand the idea of another Socalist failure.

That is so correct. Socialism has always failed. It is a flawed principal and goes against the grain of that which is human nature. This isn't just about the failure of Saddam's socialist/totalitarian regime; it is also about the failing French and German socialist societies which have come to rely on cheap Iraqi oil and slave-labor to prop up their otherwise low-productivity societies. France in particular has coasted on the backs of their brutal puppet, Iraq.

Now that you mention it, here is a prototypical leftist response to Saddam's defeat:

69. This is a sad day for "progressives" around the world. Our heros are spinning in their graves ... Stalin: spinning. Pol Pot: spinning. Karl Marx: spinning. The evil capatalist pigs, enthralled by their oil money dictators have staged a "Hollywood" production, wherein poor, oppressed Iraqi ciizens, corrupted by the evil American Dollar, have been paid to defile one of the great socialist leaders in the world.
But we are not fooled by this American propaganda effort. The Iraqi people LOVED Saddam, as we love Saddam and all our heros: Stalin, Marx, Lenin, Mao, Pol Pot, and Castro. Viva La Revolucion!!! Death to the capatalist Pigs!!! Vote for Al Gore!!!
