Newsweek gets it right:>>NEWSWEEK DEBATES FORD COVER OVER SADDAM Dec 31 2006 NEWSWEEK's editor has decided to place President Ford on the cover of next week's issue -- over the execution of Saddam. Even before news came of the hanging, there was debate at the magazine about whether Ford's death merited a cover story; some dismissed him as a "transitional" president, explains the magazine's Jon Meacham. "I felt differently. There is much to learn from Ford's legacy-one that we explain and explore in detail-and his brief, 29-month presidency shapes us still. This is not to say that Saddam is an unimportant historical figure: we have twice gone to war against him, and many American soldiers have died fighting him and his regime. But his death in 2006 matters less than his removal in 2003 does. America faces a terrible predicament in Iraq, and that predicament is the same today as it was on the day before Saddam was hanged." He continues: "There could be no greater contrast than that between Gerald Ford and Saddam Hussein, and word of Saddam's death illuminated Ford's grace and generosity even more." NEWSWEEK's January 8, 2007 issue streets Monday.<<
