How touching. Tony Blair, the UK government as a whole, and many other countries have gone out of their way to protest the possible killing of Saddam Hussein:

Tony Blair has joined other EU countries in asking Iraq not to execute Saddam Hussein.... He told his monthly press conference in Downing Street that the Government was “against the death penalty, whether it is Saddam Hussein or anybody else”. [1]

Remind me: Exactly how much effort did they put into protesting Saddam's murder of Mohammad Shiite, Bob and Edna Kurd and their four little ones, or any one of the millions of other men women and children Saddam tortured and killed, without trail, in a host of unpleasant ways?

Did any of these individuals receive such a protest? Press conferences? Front page stories in the paper protesting such deaths?

No.

Oh sure, they insist they're against it all. But... ?

And today, according to a recent poll, Brits believe George Bush is far more evil than Kim Jong Il, who has starved millions in the last decade. There were protests in the streets against Bush. But none for the North Korean victims, nor Saddam's victims.

And let's not forget Romeo Dallaire, the brave Canadian peacekeeper who begged and plead for just a few hundred (or even dozen) soldiers, from anywhere in the world, to head off the genocide which resulted in the murder of hundreds of thousands of Somalians.

These people, they couldn't give Romeo a few dozen soldiers. They couldn't even bring themselves to call it "genocide."

Oh, but they can sure speak up now, can they?

I cannot express my disgust in words. Not on this blog, anyway.

So, let's face it, boys and girls: such people objectively love and care for Saddam Hussein far more than his victims. Watch what they do, not what they say.

Do you need evidence the world is evil? Even comparatively "nice" guys like Blair? When they put, it would seem, quite a bit of effort into keeping a serial killer (who makes Ted Bundy look like a choirboy) alive, and very little to none to saving his victims' lives or protesting each death, I think we can see such people are objectively on the side of evil and suffering, whatever their internal motivations, intents, or stated views.

Have a lovely day.
