OK,

I have no problem with Al Capone being found guilty of tax-evasion, but with that fact in our minds, I don't think he should have other crimes attributed to him that he may not have been guilty of (or as guilty of) - he cheated the IRS.... and that's it.

In the same way, grizzlymint and others seem to think they know exactly what has gone down in Iraq over the years. I would think that unless you saw it with your own eyes, you're no better a judge than I am. As it stands, Saddam was guilty of ordering the killing of 148 people, and that's it - everything else is speculation.

I'm not crying for Saddam, but I have managed to evolve far enough that I understand killing someone for killing others is morally bankrupt...

It's the hippocracy that bothers me here, combined with people's determination not to see it. :rolleyes:
