I wouldn't say that too loud, it might disturb some liberal/leftist lurker. Their worldview is predicated on saddam being a boyscout, and a secular ruler opposed to the sunni/shia theocrat fanatics. They can't handle the truth.
Exactly. I actually have a good piece on how Saddam's regime wasn't secular after 1991, that he instituted Shria to save his butt after the post Desert Storm uprisings within Iraq. I love to hit the Saddam apologists with that one.
