Just because people think differently than you do, they are not working for the enemy

Oh, I don't mean they did it for love of Saddam. But functionally, that's what it amounted to. Most of them seemed to be motivated by an anti-Americanism so knee-jerk that they never really examined what company it put them in.

So when I ask what the left had to say to the victims of Saddam, presenting an anti-sanctions program doesn't really cut it as an answer. That program, if implemented, would have greatly benefited Saddam. Simple fact, regardless of anyone's good intentions. It would have done squat to improve the human rights situation in Iraq. Again, simple fact. Improving human rights required doing something about Saddam - and I didn't hear anything from the left about the need to do something about Saddam.
