"Both countries <Iraq & France> suffered immensely at the hands of their new leaders" Actually Thomas, that statement is widely accepted as factual. It is supported by substantial credible evidence from multiple sources, including thousands of first hand witnesses. However, your statement, "One could just as easily say the same thing about George Bush", is shocking in its' temerity. It does however, expose an extreme bias on your part IMO. Any such comparison of the Butcher of Baghdad & Hitler's Nazism with President Bush's tenure are ludicrous & wholely unfounded. You complimentary comments about the Butcher of Baghdad's regime are laughable, but they do shed some light on where your POV lies. Anything positive done by the Butcher of Baghdad was only for a select minority who supported this murderous regime. Meanwhile the vast majority of the Iraqi population suffered horrific atrocities & crimes against humanity. So much so that they are now poorer, less educated & less healthy than prior to the Ba'ath Party overthrow of Iraq's government. And that's for those who weren't slaughtered. How do you explain the rape, torture & imprisonment of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi men, women & children for alleged political crimes, ET AL? How was their experience better under the Butcher of Baghdad? "Okay, now I see where you are coming from. Never mind." I see that the truth chased you away from further embellishments of reality.
