pretty sick analogy. it really takes one hell of a stretch of the imagination to liken a regime that killed its citizens by the tens-of-thousands to a hive of bees. sure, that's right, Saddam and his henchmen wanted nothing more to make honey in peace on the banks of the Euphrates and Tigris
I've been wondering where all the liberal idealism went recently when it came to giving an opressed nation a chance at liberty and democracy. I found out when the stories of the mistreatment (and yes, they were definitely mistreated) of Iraqi prisoners began to make the headlines and suddenly the libs go into a fit about how atrocious this all is when the Iraqi leaders have been doing much worse on a daily basis to their constituency for decades. simply proves that it's not the issues at all but rather the people in control with which you have a problem. had Clinton been at the helm of all of this, you'd definitely be singing a different tune
