You know Nadine, liberals noticed before conservatives seemed to. When conservatives were hugging and kissing Saddam, Mother Jones was exposing Kurdish massacres. But I don't need to make it about "bad conservatives" and "good liberals" as you seem to need to do. There were reasons to play footsies with Saddam- although I tend to think it should have been more tough love in the relationship. I swear, I get so tired of the boring reflexive political garbage that spews around here as if it were history or realistic politics. Black and white just doesn't work for me in a wold of grays. Saddam was bad- what we have now is worse. You may not think it is worse, but almost everyone else on the planet does, and we spent a lot of money to make it worse. Mass graves are sad, but political chaos AND mass graves, or mass bombings, is worse. You may not think so, but just about everyone else on the planet does. And I've already done the dance with you about Al Qaeda. I think you are completely wrong about that; I've said why, and it would be just way too boring to discuss it all again. Ever heard the saying that "the enemy of my enemy is also a son of a bitch who wants to kill me too"?

"How many liberals noticed the 400,000 Iraqis that Saddam shovelled into mass graves?" Many of them with the encouragement of Bush 41 who pushed them into rebellion, let Saddam have his armed choppers and stood by while Saddam mowed them down. That will go down as yet another case of Republican infamy and the rightwing's utter moral bankruptcy. Oh yeah, another Republicans, Rumsfeld gleefully shook hands with Saddam while knowing full well about the gas attacks. You rightwingers are fully morally bankrupt and have no ability to waggle your finger at anyone until you clean your own house.
