This is the standard -- and extremely ignorant -- Neo-Dim answer regarding wrong-doing and evil dicators. Saddam's atrocities were ten years ago, so give him a pass. Castro's atrocities were years ago, so give him a pass. Bill's atrocities were years ago, so give him a pass.
While we're at it, let's also give a pass to Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc. All murdering Communist dictators of the past get a pass, because we all know that Communism really would have worked were it not for the imperialist hegemonic USA.
Too Late we already did that, years ago.
