The left's sympathy for crime is not at all altruistic, it is 100% self-serving. Saddam is a classic Socialist. The left can easily see themselves in his shoes. If they were in charge of a country they would start out as narcissistic do-gooders, like Saddam, and Hillary, then go corrupt.

I have always used that word to describe people who are too stupid or too self-absorbed (narcissistic as you say) to see the natural and probable consequences of their actions.
I think Saddam and Hillary are fully aware of and specifically intend the consequences of their actions -- corrupt from the outset.
LIBERALS: "Selectively" Sympathetic to the Plight of Evil
The left believes in totalitarian Socialst govt; they merely disagree with Saddam's methods. They fully recognize, however, that dissent must be crushed to achieve their own paradigm.
Example:
They gave Marxist terrorist Allende the hero revisionist treatment.
They demonized Pinochet, a free marketer, as the anti-Christ.
