[lbo-talk] re Saddam captured

[Stephen Philion]

Just because the Bush gang is playing it up for the rubes at home means that
Saddam's a victim?

--who said anything about victimhood? i'm just asking what the purpose of
the triumphalism is and using sarcasm in the process.  what's the problem
with that? it's better than wishfully thinking that we can somehow convince
the US captors of not only Sodom but some 10 thousand "detainees" in Iraq to
bring some kind of justice to the world...
