Oooh -- the Mudcat PC police is here!

I'll get this out of the way first: anyone who thinks Sharon would give the Palestinians the sweat off his balls without ulterior motives needs to have his/her head examined.

Now: Would it be OK to applaud Hitler's suicide? The downfall of Stalin? Pol Pot? Idi Amin? Was Papa Doc Duvalier a monster but Baby Doc not so much?

My point is: Are there degrees of evil? Where do we draw the line? And who gets to draw it?

Although I detest him, I would not gloat if "Martin Gibson" had a debilitating stroke today. But then, he's not a mass murderer, AFAIK. To see Sharon taken out of power, I for one am glad.

Cheers,
Michael
