<Did Saddam Hussein have legitimacy?> Absolutely. And that pretty much sums up the prevailing opinion that you're a Saddamist... And it's the best reason I can think of to put you on ignore. The blood of over 300,000 people who died in Saddam's genocide is the direct responsibility of people like you who think totaltarian regimes are more legitimate than even the most fledgling of democracies..

Huh? — you've criticized the US for supporting governments that are dictatorships. Then you lend support for Saddam as a "legitimate" government — with the same excuse that the US uses when they support governments which you think are dictatorships ("legitimate government"). And you continue that same phrasing for the butchery known as Saddam. I'm so confused.... wait... oh, I get it.... did you used to work fo the State Dept.? ">><Did Saddam Hussein have legitimacy?>" >>>>>>"Absolutely."
