Dictators worse than Saddam.
For all that crap about the world is "safer" without Saddam, we have to realize the truth...

That they are many dictators worse than Saddam. And the world is never "safer" without Saddam, or even if Saddam is gone, the world is way WORSE.

Example of a worse dictator that Saddam, Kim Jong Il of North Korea. (HE'S the one who HAS nuclear weapons!) Also whoever led Sudan.

My two cents apply.

1. How 'bout Suharto of Indonesia?

or Pinochet, or the Shah of Iran, or any of the other 20 or so dictators we supported in the Cold War?

The idea that the world is somehow safer now than it was four years ago is fucking fatuous.

2. The United States has a loooooooonnngg history of
propping up military dictatorships that suit its interests and has been know to over throw on or two legitimately elected governments and installing military dictatorships (either directly or covertly thru the CIA) - Chile, Guatamala, Nicaragua are just three that come immediately to mind. There are many, many others.
