I have thoroughly read AI reports on Iraq as well as reports on other countries in the region. Saddam was brutal but not the most brutal or the biggest human rights violator, that dubious distinction would go to the house of Saud or North Korea. My problem is that he has been made out to be the worst when in fact by all accounts he was not. So Saddam joins the list with Charles Taylor, Idi Amin, Pol Pot. I would be more comfortable with this if I knew there was going to be something done with US allies who are major human rights violators as well, there are two on the top of my list and no, I don't mean to imply NK is one of them. So cheers to the troops for a job well done. "But I'm stuck like a dope with a thing called hope, And I can't get it out of my heart. Not this heart!" |
