I am not offended by your opposition to Saddam, or that you speak the truth about him. I just wonder why it is our problem when there are so many other monsters in the world that we give a blind eye to. Where were we when Stalin was murdering 16,000,000 Ukrainians, or when Mao was killing up to 75,000,000 Chinese? How about the ongoing murder and rape of Tibet? Or the vast slaughter going on in Africa? Why didn't we do something to stop Pol Pot? It is gross hypocrisy to focus on Saddam and say were going to attack him because he is a Bad Guy. Of course he is a bad guy. So what? The world is full of bad guys, some of them even worse than Hussein. Is it our responsibility to going about like Don Quixote jousting at windmills? It isn't that we should not police the world and enforce an unnatural peace. We cannot. John W.
