Nobody thinks that he was a good guy. Hell he shook hands with Rumsfeld.
What is it that Rumsfeld has done wrong?
In the 30 years of rule, less Iraqis died than in the 3 years of Bush's rule. In fact Saddam would have had to rule another 20 years to kill as many as have died unders Bush's supervision.
The insurgence use Iraqis as human shields for propaganda and the Liberals buy it or worse yet they use it as a political tool.
I wonder if the nearly 700 Thousand dead could be polled, would they choose death or Saddam?
They probably would have blown themselves up (and us with them) eventually. If Saddam would have played by the rules of the Gulf War surrender, none of this would have happened.
