It's not about Saddam, hubby. It was never about Saddam. He doesn't matter. It's about oil, and building an empire. Saddam was simply the handy "face" to fit part # 3 in my recipe below, called:

"the Hitler method to success and popularity" or "5 easy steps to World conquest and/or eternal damnation...just cross your fingers and hope for the best!"

Now please disabuse yourself of the very silly notion that we are "Saddam Hussein sympathizers". Why would we be? What would we possibly find to admire about Saddam? He's just a former errand boy (thug) for Washington who went astray. He used to kill Iranians for them in the 80's...remember? What has Saddam even got to DO with our criticism of Bush's unprovoked aggression against a virtually helpless country that was incapable of harming America anyway? What has he got to do with our opposition to a war that can't be won and is being fought against the wrong people in the wrong place by the wrong method, and is defended only by lies and evasions?

Saddam is superflous. He's about as important at this moment as Manuel Noriega or Idi Amin...meaning: not at all. He is defunct. He has no power. He is yesterday's news. "If his feet weren't nailed to the perch, he'd be pushing up daisies!" He is an ex-dictator!!!! (Monty Python scene. remember it?)
