I am proud of Rhode Island's truly " independent man ", Senator
Lincoln Chaffee, in not giving any simple minded YES,YES ! to the
GOP gods of war in Washington D.C. But a public television documentary
on the life of Saddam Hussein of Iraq - I watched last night on channel
24 here - must convince most viewers that the guy is one of the great
moral monsters of history. Even Hitler and Stalin had ideological
brakes, a general philosophy of history. Saddam believes in Saddam
far more than he believes in the Allah of the Arab world.
True there is no crime against humanity, against his
own people, against the state of Israel, he will not commit in
order to keep himself top Hell-Hound in his own country.
Since he kills anybody who hints of revolt,there is
a process of un-natural selection going on leaving Iraq a nation
of terrorized zombies or cowards - or worse - Saddam worshipers !
BUT I still say : CONTAIN THE MONSTER ! War is too
risky. And Allah himself might strike him down soon.
Then we can all shout : " Allah is great ! "
Just a footnote : US and British and French imperialism did
help make this monster of the ages, Saddam Hussein.
Washington D.C. did not give him too many lessons in
integrity.
And if war is inevitable, the cannon fodder for the
invasion should be supplied by Kuwait and Israel. Our Air Force
can help out a little.
