Update To NYT Plays Johnny Cochran For Saddam Hussein

I meant to make this point myself, but I forgot to. I think it's telling.

SJKevin notes:

When Saddam was executing people, the left was all in favor of respecting Iraqi national sovereignty. Now that they're having what looks like a pretty fair trial for Saddam, the left is all worked up about it and thinks that the "international community" ought to be running the show.

Indeed. When Saddam was in charge, we were to leave Iraq to the "Iraqis" (actually, the Arab Sunni minority).

Now that he's out of power, the New York Times thinks it's high time we started bossing the Iraqis around.

They'll tell you they don't love dictators; that they "hate" Saddam. Are they trying to convince us or themselves?

By their every word and deed they lend support to a monster. Just because that monster had the balls to stand up to a worse monster -- George W. Antichrist Bush.
