i agree wasilla. this post heading is misleading. this man is not defending saddam, he is on the offensive against g.w. bush. saddam was just one example for the misuse of power. the atomic bomb was another example of the misuse of power. people all over the doj right now asking why arent they doing more? well let me ask you this, why has america never been brought up on war crimes for the nuclear bombs dropped. why? dont change your values from one subject to another. you want these men brought up on charges? when is america gonna be brought up on war crime charges?. yes saddam killed some of his own pple. so did america. many african americans lost their lives due to racism and violence. our presidents watched. yes, silence is the same as helping.
