My first thought when I saw this picture was, “Gadzooks, Dennis Miller looks terrible.”

It struck me as I read Saddam’s defiance:

“This is all theater. The real criminal is Bush,” Saddam later said, turning on President Bush (news – web sites), whose forces invaded Iraq and overthrew him 15 months ago.

“The real criminal is Bush.” Where have we heard those words? Exactly – the far left wing anti-war crowd. They’ve been chanting similar slogans for months and calling for Bush’s impeachment as though he’s done something illegal. He hasn’t, of course – he’s just done something the left doesn’t like.

I think that would be cause for introspection if I held similar left-wing views. If you’re agreeing with Saddam Hussein, the butcher of 1.2 million people, a man who set people on fire in front of their relatives, then perhaps you ought to rethink your views. It’s like saying, “Ya know, Hitler was just misunderstood…”
