Which explains the linkage and defense of the left as it relates to choosing sides. the left's plan was for the un to rule the us, because the left could never get enough support in democratic elections. saddam is just 1 in a long line of socialist dictators who see their citizens as chattle, pawns for the king to use as he sees fit. Within the context of socialisms installation and time line in power; look at the record. Socialism has murdered 35 million people in 75 years. Yet the attraction remains within a small but organized minority Approximating 16% of the population. the followers abandon thought and liberty to the goals and whims of a selected elitist cadre. In doing so they are told that they have intellectual high ground and that famous people are attached to the movement for a reason, when in fact the left is a bankrupt estate with an incidius skill set of the big lie as their guiding principle. In 40 years I've never met a leftist who went beyond the study of the pogrom, never, everything outside of the party at the highest is taboo, everything is turned into target so to speak. Regardless of the fact that ideas have consequences, the left is on perpetual ignore relating to everything that is not focused to support its self preservation. Better ideas and philosophies are disdained, criticisims crafted by cliche, policy and practice authenticated by the use and strict commitment to dialectics. The Left is a liars heaven, it's record of deception and cruelty are long and truly should be an embarrassment to all mankind. There is absolutely no difference in the ends sought between OBL and saddams world socialism. NONE. The left has a record and saddam is just another example of it.
