Apology accepted. Your arguments were heartfelt and thought through, some more than mine, so there was simply the matter of tone, and I've been reamed by experts in that cateogry.

Personally the sooner the Net agrees on a typeface to universally represent irony, the happier I'll be!

I view Saddam as being about as noble as a hyena and less trustworthy than same. He is also cunning, a brilliant (if utterly immoral) politician (Inasmuch as he is still in power after all these years) and capable of playing many aspects of the diplomacy game better than those trying to oust him. An apocalyptically dangerous combination.
