Similarly, the board of authors and editors behind the incredible Black Book of Communism were nearly all left of center. It is no real surprise to see that an official of Medecins Sans Frontieres is weighing in on the issue, however - they were there as the place was descending into hell and were on numerous occasions ejected from the country by Saddam.
It should be clear enough from this volume that Saddam was the engineer behind a thoroughly vicious police state on the European model and that it is hypocrisy of the first order simultaneously to insist that the U.S. was behind him or failed to do anything about his atrocities at one point and to chide the U.S. for removing him from office on the other.
Which, as we both know, won't stop the left from trying.
