[lbo-talk] re Trial of Saddam Will Hit the Left Hard

[Stephen Philion]

"Without ever appearing to be partisan, but merely by cataloging Saddam's
numerous heinous crimes . . . it will become implicit in a lot of people's
minds that this was a terrible person and that toppling and catching him was
undoubtedly a moral and practical good," said John Hulsman of the
conservative Heritage Foundation. "That undermines the moralism at the base
of left-wing opposition to the president's Iraq
policy. It hits them where they live."
