NB: While I deplore some of Saddam's actions, I'm at a loss to find any recent stuff for which he could be accused. Iraq was stormed under a false pretense after letting him act in a way, which was publically known about for decades, with no reprisals.
I don't believe that the charges he was finally convicted of were trumped up but to use them for mere political ends, to assuage an illegal act of occupying foreign soil, astounds me. No doubt it will eventually be swept under the carpet as a sidebar in the historic annals.
I also support our respective troops. They are doing a difficult job, for which they have been trained, and deserve recognition upon their return. I do, however, question the dunderheads that sent them out there in the first place.
Mouthy:Some find gullability and naivity endearing. I'm only of that "type" when dealing with puppy dogs and ducklings. At least in Britain we are quick to admit when we find that our leader is a muppet and a puppet...
What's the current Canadian opinion?
