Thread Name: Salman Rushdie - Outrage.
Subject: RE: Salman Rushdie - Outrage.
But only if the dictator in question is willing to do the bidding of the governments of the US and the UK, right? Because after all, Saddam was a strong dictator, wasn't he? And he certainly did a good job of unifying the diverse collection of cultures in his country. So it really isn't about what's good for the people in those countries. It's all about what the governments of countries like the US and UK want and expect.
