Is it okay to free Saddam if he condemns the insurgency?

Saddam should never have been molested in the first place.

Saddam should never have been molested in the first place. 

I never realized he even knew Michael Jackson.

I would hardly equate harmlessly wanking off some strapping horny lad with viciously attacking and destroying a peaceful nation.

I suppose all those Kurds killed themselves then?

I said peaceful - as in not attacking others, and certainly not the USA.  The Kurds were a domestic problem.

So? Genocide is not just a "domestic problem". I suppose you think the holocaust was just a "domestic problem" as well, eh?

Yes.

What on earth does the Kuwait war have to do with the present?   The US had nothing to fear from Iraq in this present case.

Do you know Opebo? I sometimes wonder what planet you're on. So, are you saying its fine for Wacko to jack off kids and fine for Saddam to commit wanton acts of genocide?

No, that is not what I said, though of course neither is any of our business.  What I said was that I would not equate MJ's actions with Saddam's, as NewFederalist did.  I consider MJ's actions to be completely harmless, while Saddam's were not.

There are those of us who believe that all people have human rights, you know.

I have no idea what you mean by this.  What do you mean 'have'?  Is it like a 'soul'?  Rights are a social phenomenon, and are quite precarious.  Making arguments to the man with the gun about your inalienable rights really isn't going to change his mind.
