That Saddam is a monster !

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.
