Well, contrary to the coward Saddam Hussein who hides himself behind women
and children Mr. Bush as a believing Christian at least accepts his
responsibility that one day he will have to justify this before his creator.
Luckily I'm not the one who has to judge. Either he's very sure and really
believes that his decisions are right or, if he's really the oil industry's
puppet some people want to make of him, he's a better actor than Ronald
Reagan ever has been in his first career.

Saddam Hussein would have stayed for years, maybe decades, but Bush will
have gone after his second term. I'm beginning to share Rob's point that it
isn't right to simply call elected leaders 'fascists' as long as there are
really totalitarian leaders who are threatening their neighbors.

Even if this has been a fabricated war I cannot help but feeling better that
Saddam is gone and I cannot understand the Iraqis (has somebody asked the
women?) insisting on another totalitarian regime of their own choice.
