Just because I'm trying to get you to stop telling lies it doesn't mean I'm an apologist for Saddam. There are dozens of posts on numerous forums from me condemning the evil sod out of hand. As for leaving bits of quotes out, I simply quoted a chunk of wiki. I didn't omit anything. You quoted the same chunk but pared off, quite deliberately, the sentence at the end referring to his sympathy for the victims. I'll leave others here to judge who's being dishonest.
