"Anyway, checks and balances doesn't mean that two gang up to beat up a third."

Well that was your wording. And, I know how you are a stickler for holding people to their exact wording...or what ever convoluted versions you can get from rewording their wording. Sorry, I need to reign in here. Wouldn't want to be accused of ranting. That's silvester's job.

Ok, I got your meaning. The many stand up to the one who is brutally oppressive. Not necessary to beat him in all cases but the two or more must do what is needed remove the threat. I got it the first time ... even though that had to be inferred from your wording.

Point being... Saddam was one, who needed to be addressed by the many. The many, knew it but kept their seats...crying peace, peace, when they were called upon.

I was calling for several years before GWB took office btw.

You would still be crying peace peace ... leave Saddam alone if it were up to you, and he would still be doing his thing, and thanking you for it.
