Well, if Saddam is convicted, his conviction will be slightly more credible because a former US Attorney General defended him--Those who have been listing his former defendents may not have noticed it, but he didn't get many of them off, did he?

Be that as it may, most mornings, and on CSPAN, no less, Don Imus shares the view that Saddam is the only one who can run Iraq--and it may be true. Iraq , as a country, never quite worked out, still Saddam showed up. He was the tough, do what you gotta do to whip em' into line kind of leader that folks like Crowbar, and the Bush clan, love--

I never liked Saddam, even when Saddamites like the Bushes and Rumsfeld were supporting him. The thing is, Iraq was a mess when he came along, and he created order. and it is a mess now--so the math is simple, even for Bush--
