Doesn't matter about the motivation. Saddam needs to import a LOT of jelly,
because his country is about to be toast.

You bring up a point that I have trouble understanding: the permission or
participation of the rest of the world. To me, something (Saddam in this
case) is not virtueous or evil depending on the majority vote. Saddam is not
innocent until the jury votes he's guilty. Killing Saddam's wicked ass is
not meritorious simply because the leaders of a few countries agree; killing
Saddam is praiseworth in and of itself without reference to any external
thoughts or policies.

"I hate Saddam Hussein" (GB-41). Tells it like it is. I hate Saddam Hussein,
too. I don't know anyone personally who doesn't hate Saddam Hussein.

Mark Twain did not say this. Lawrence J. Peter is the author of the quote.
And the actual quote is: "I have yet to discover whether we are being
governed by well-meaning fools or by very intelligent people who are just
putting us on."

But, hey, it's the thought that counts.
