whats with all the bashing of bashing....
<< had to be said
but really, i dont know if everyone understands the full extent of saddam's power and brutality....the man totures and kills his own people, he gases entire villages, amputates legs and arms of citizens, performs experimentation on humans(and tortures the doctors who refuse to do it). i dont mean to preach or anything but sadam hussein is the epitome of evil and i believe most of americans do not understand the full wrath of this man(me being one of them: i just started reading us state department documents that have shocked me)
i agree with mr. rush that this might not be the place but "bashing" saddam is in my mind no way inappropriate as long as it doesnt get out of hand
in addition: here are some sites(U.S. State Department) on this madman:
