Of course, Saddam doesn't care a bit about our opinions. The US power elite doesn't either, but they _should_ care. BTW, I don't think anyone on pen-l ever said that Saddam was a "good guy." Rather, he seems like the type that the US usually allies with. Hey, the US _was_ allied with him for quite awhile! ((((((((((((((( CB: Hey, maybe he had a really cool economic policy back then.
