The Annoyed Man wrote:Whether it's a commie killing millions, or a fascist killing thousands, neither are justifiable. But of the two, the former is vastly more evil. It's one thing to kill a few thousand political opponents. It's a whole other level to eliminate, or try to eliminate, an entire people group of segment of society because some of them might oppose you. In that regard, Saddam Hussein fit into both categories. He ruthlessly had thousands of individual people murdered whom he judged to be political dangers or liabilities, but he also perpetrated mass murder against northern Iraqi Kurds using chemical weapons, murdering women, children, old folks, and babies. The fact that he didn't kill more of them is partly due to the world's reaction (which has been pitifully absent in other cases), and partly due to Hussein's machinery of death having been very inefficient.....the goose-stepping SOBs.
And by the way, what is it with goose-stepping, and why does it seem to be almost universally a symptom of evil dictatorships? It's almost like God gave us a secret sign......"Thus shall ye know the evil dictator, for he shall walk like a goose and speak in prideful boasting." (TAM 1:1, ASV)
Attributed to Josef StalinA single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic.
