4. well...I guess I'm "supposed" to feel good about this
Because he is a <repeat like the good sheep that I am> "brutal dictator" who "killed thousands of his own people."
But he was also a guy who posed no threat to us. And a guy who managed to keep a hostile area of the world relatively sedate (albeith through brutal tactics). And a guy who was a secular muslim leader instead of a hardcore fundamentalist.
But I think in cold, crass political terms. I think it's good for Bush so I think it's bad for me. So I'm not happy, and I don't care if it's politically incorrect to say so.
