or maybe such people as saddam are in fact the least bad option

I still recall, when we were very young men, my brother saying that apparently sometimes, in some places, despotic dictators are "necessary" to keep order and "civilization" intact.

I remember scratching my head thinking, "Huh? What could be worse than a dictator?"

Within a few years I understood that, sadly, he was apparently right. And maybe prescient.

D&O

chemotherapy against the cancer of islamic fundamentalism.

wish there was another cure. but so far, nothing much has worked.

or maybe such people as saddam are in fact the least bad option. his secular tyranny kept the shia and sunni factions and the factions within factions from getting loose.

what a doe-eyed disaster cheney's iraq war was.
