Hi,
While in most peoples mind there can be little doubt that
Saddam is guilty of the crimes he will eventually be charged
with, his case is still somewhat 'Sub Judice'. In this
country (the UK), it is normal for the media to play down
the defendants past up to the actual trial. We have just
been through one here involving the murder of a couple of
10-year-old girls and until the final verdict, the fact that
the guilty party had a record of prior unproven sex offences
was not mentioned.
thank you for giving a first-hand account of what politically
correct socialism will bring to a country.
This 'innocent till proven guilty' is one of the things
that separates 'us' from 'them'.
....however, the problem is, the term "dictator" doesn't
necessarily mean "guilty"... while the term does often have
negative connotations, it has nothing to do with whether
or not he was guilty of everything that the world does in
fact know he did.
There is no way in all of creation that you can show a
logical argument for hiding the negative word "dictator"
in order to first withold judgement on saddam being
guilty of throwing people into wood chippers, gassing
tens of thousands of your own people, tossing people
of a roof for sport while filming it, defying the UN
resolutions for over a decade and countless other
violations of just down right human decency.. you can
be a dictator and not do those particular vile things. You
can simply be a dictator by being an unopposed autocrat
in your nation (by definition).
this is, imho, just another bit of evidence that the BBC
has a very strong bias in this affair.
