Doc on tv the other night about Hussein. he has always been the same, long before he got into power he was assinating people ect. The Americans supported him then. They have only demonised him now because it suits them to. Like they supported him then because it suited them.(same for UK). Mad and evil, especially mad, are stupid words to use to describe anyone. The definatoion of mad depends on your culture and who is defining the word. And as for evil, I am okay with labelling acts as evil but not people. There is always a difference between the act and the actor.
