Paul, excellent point. Those who look to the U.N. as the answer to the problem should take note. Even Saddam knows the U.N. loves to talk but fails to act. He counted on it.. But Saddam’s comments and demeanor in court also reinforce something that gives me chills. He’s not nuts. He’s a cold, calculated, brutal tyrant who knew exactly what he was doing when he tortured, maimed and killed without conscience for decades. Men like this cannot be appeased. They must be defeated.
