tejek, re:You think that religious fanatics are worse than a tyrant killing people left and right? I don't like religious fanatics but I put them a couple of rungs above ruthless dictators. I guess you're talking about Saddam vs the Ass-hole-a-tolla? I wasn't addressing the 80's at all to tell the truth - but not to support Saddam, I would say he didn't have enough history as a tyrant (or at least not known to the public) to be compared to the Ass-hole-a-tolla. Besides every fu**ing day we had the news regarding the Iranian Hostage crisis day 125, 272, 342.. If you asked anyone in the USA who was worse in the 80's I bet you can guess the answer. Carter looked as helpless as could be, and his naturally wimpy demeanor didn't help - not that he could have done much about it. To answer your question, no I hold no preference for killers either Tyrannical or Religiously motivated - they are what they are and we should bring'em both down whenever we have the chance.
