And Hitler Wasn't So Bad, Either

To borrow a shtick from Protein Wisdom... As part of our ongoing Suffering Fools Series, re Saddam Hussein, Iraq terror, and other worldly things into which Senator John Rockefeller (D-W.V.) gained deep insight while representing West Virginia...
The senator says, here, "Saddam 'wasn't going to attack us. He would've been isolated there. He would have been in control of that country but we wouldn't have depleted our resources preventing us from prosecuting a war on terror which is what this is all about.'"
If only John Rockefeller could have flown to Iraq to meet with Saddam and perhaps several equally misapprehended followers of the friendly faith, he could have brought home, Neville Chamberlain style, peace for our time. Said Chamberlain, September 30, 1938, after his meeting with the author of the final solution, "My good friends, for the second time in our history, a British Prime Minister has returned from Germany bringing peace with honor. I believe it is "peace for our time." Go home and get a nice quiet sleep"
And a nice, quiet night's sleep to you, Senator Johnny.
