It is kinda sad really. I can't imagine having self-denial down to that extent and then having to walk away from the only "security" you ever knew. I hope things turn around for Baghdad Bob.

You know, we should be as angry with him as we are with all the other generals and underlings of Saddam. But you don't see this outpouring of anger and hatred for him, not even from President Bush. Why is this????? Is it because he made us laugh? sometimes so very hard? He's no better for that, is he? He was as complicit with the evil regime as if he did it (and may have) himself. But, for whatever reason, I don't feel the same animosity towards him, at all. Perhaps we should; but I don't. And I think it's because he made me laugh, and I even admired his attempts to go on (but that was not good, either, if you think about it---"go on" meant keeping Saddam in power and the Republican Guard and the Fayadeen and the children in prison, etc.). I do feel sorry for him. Perhaps laughter brings these feelings.
