35. Okay. I'll say it since everyone else is afraid of saying it.
No, the world is NOT better off or safer without Saddam Hussein.

No, the mass graves would not be being filled if Saddam were still in power. I tell ya what though, they got more mass graves over there now and it ain't Saddam filling them.

It's all bullshit. The demonization of Saddam is one of the greatest propaganda achievements of the twentieth century. Fidel Castro is the other. Both guys were lawyers and socialist for christ sakes. Both guys tried to advance education and health care, the two things that are guaranteed to bring the wrath of american terrorists upon your head.

Bullshit bullshit bullshit. I'd like to see a side by side statistic of the number of people executed by Saddam with the number of executions in the US over the same time period. Shit, I'll bet George alone has more.

What americans don't get is that we are the only suckers eating this shit. The rest of the world knows its bullshit. I'm sick of the cowardly way every american trumpets this "better off without Saddam" shit because it's the proper thing to say. Fuck all of 'em. I'm sick to death of the hypocrisy.
