They saw what we did to Saddam.

Had Saddam Hussain not invaded Iran, and had the big powers supported the rights of Iranian people instead of siding with Saddam

Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, the links that were put about pre Iraq war.

It's only the anti war pinkos who say things like Saddam isn't a threat.

And back when Saddam Hussein was in power, the Americans didn't care about his crimes.

Like Saddam, like Mugabe, like Kim Jong Il people who kill in hundreds of thousands or millions.

And then Saddam Hussein's serious mustache is a problem, but you think of him as a mom.

You've heard in the past several years, the world is safer because Saddam Hussein is not in power.

The Iraqis yes, they got rid of Saddam Hussein, but when they saw their land occupied by foreign forces they felt very sad, they felt that their dignity had suffered.

For example, if someone said in 2003 there's a 50 chance or there's an 80 chance that Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction, that I think would and that would be a probability.

This can be seen in the western need cleaning Iranian profound that it has become indispensable from chemical warfare, that the name of the Zionists and the empire, starred Saddam Hussein and his troop of wicked.

This image, for example, is sort of spot on because it exactly sums up what Elton may be doing in private, and also what might be happening with Saddam Hussein, and George Bush reading the Koran upside down.

A few years ago, under Saddam Hussein, an Iraqi could have his tongue cut out if he was found in possession of a satellite dish or used the Internet without government approval. Today, satellite dishes are ubiquitous in Iraq as well.

One note on his death, which is so devastating, is that despite predicating the war on Iraq on a link between Saddam Hussein and terrorism in 9 11, believe it or not, the Bush administration or the invaders did no planning, no pre war planning, to respond to terrorism.

This, in fact, would be a better building if we put mosaic portraits of Josef Stalin, Pol Pot, Saddam Hussein, and all the other great despots of the 20th century on the side of the building, because then we'd honestly be saying what the building is really communicating to us.

Consider for a moment the vast quantity of column inches and hours of television devoted to the allegations of detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib. Compare that to the volume of coverage and condemnation associated with, say, the discovery of Saddam Hussein s mass graves, which were filled with hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis.

The last decades have provided the regime with near ideal conditions to seize control over the Shiite clerical establishment in Iraq as well. Under Saddam Hussein, restrictions were imposed on the Shiite seminary in Najaf traditionally a counterbalance to Iran s Shiite establishment forcing the emigration of a number of clerics to the Iranian seminary in Qom.

But I'm talking about him because when he was four months old, my foreign editor forced me to go back to Baghdad where I had been reporting all throughout the Saddam regime and during the fall of Baghdad and afterwards, and I remember getting on the plane in tears, crying to be separated from my son, and while I was there, a quite famous Iraqi politician who was a friend of mine said to me, What are you doing here?
