Saddam Hussein did quite a bit more then just “challenge the bully”…
I suppose genocide of the Kurds is acceptable on the internet as long as your suitably anti-American while you do it. Those darn American imperialists!
When Iraq gassed a Kurdish village in 1988, the US actually blocked condemnation of Iraq in the UN Security Council and tried to redirect blame towards Iran.
The US only started making a big deal of Iraq's attacks on the Kurds years later, when Iraq had gone from being an ally to an enemy.

That’s odd, as I generally vote Democrat and the only post here I’ve submitted is to a math blog post I enjoy.
At any rate, let’s try to avoid having this website turn into yet another Reddit or Twitter in terms of quality of comments and obsession about anything seen as not left leaning enough.
I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree about the merits of Saddam Hussein, here. Have a good weekend.
>>Almost 99% is attacking liberals, leftists, and the EU. Literally.

I think you need to show your math. You might have misplaced a decimal point somewhere or something.

This has to be a difficult way to operate on a daily basis. Even if your charge were true (it's not) why are you so quick to draw this card?
