Brian, who doesn't understand the expression "to cry crocodile tears"
What makes you say that? Any why are you addressing your comments
about me instead of to me?
Saddam was not the only major 20th century tryant to be put to
trial. Brian has forgotten the Nuremberg Trials.
By the qualifier major I'm talking about a Hilter, Stalin, Pol Pot,
Amin, et cetera. I think you know this but I won't speculate about
what you know, unlike you, as I will show.
The issue is the restoration (or establishment) of a legal system
in Iraq. Iraq must stop being a barbaric area where strongmen
murder people. It must accept and obey laws. The state must act
within the legal framework. That is why the US invaded Iraq.
I agree. Iraqis must stop acting barbaric and while Saddam's
execution was rough justice it was still justice. And while his
execution should have united the country he did so much harm to it
was botched. But a few sectarian taunts before his death doesn't
keep me awake at night while the Left seems seized with how horrible
it is. Not how horrible his crimes were but the few words he had
hurled at him before his death.
Brian can't understand the meaning of this, nor grasp the
implications. He neither understands what he sees, nor understands
the context of what he sees.
I'm glad I have someone like to you to gently show me where I'm wrong.
Add to that his lack of knowledge of history and his fumbling of
metaphors, and you get his confused statements.
What fumbled metaphors? What confused statements?
