I wouldn't say there was or is silence. Go to ZNet and you'll find plenty of
denunciations of Saddam, for instance.

I've cruised some of the Leftier Than Thou lists, and there are arcane
discussions about Saddam being anti-hegemonic, objectively anti-imperialist
in this specific instance, and so on; but even there, I don't see much in
the way of Ba'athist endorsement, despite some of the ridiculous assertions.
