Saddam is responsible for the deaths of at least 1.5 million people.
The Left's effort to fabricate a responsibility for 600,000 is a dim effort to grapple with the 30 years of human outrages that he committed against Iraqis.
It is quite inflammatory to me that I supported bringing Milosevic to trial for attempting to kill Muslims on a much smaller scale but now I witness the Media and democrats trying to minimize and rationalize the barbarity of Saddam.
Liberals have given new and profound meaning to the term hypocrisy. The anti-war crowd is pro-genocide-- there is no other practical way to see it.
Democrats say that Iraq is unstable without Saddam in charge. That he "kept the peace" (through opression, genocide, torture, murder, payoffs, and a campaign of terror).
We cannot adopt the methods of Saddam so we cannot be compared to Saddam's method of rule.
