Justin King - Beau of The Fifth Column - reminding us that looking in a mirror once in a while is how you check your shit. And sometimes checking your shit in advance can keep you from making the same mistake over and over again.
Saddam was an extraordinarily bad guy and he deserved his fate, but we're supposed to follow the law, and the law doesn't provide for any of the fantasy bullshit "reasons' that Cheney and Rumsfeld and Rice et al cooked up to rationalize invading Iraq. All those assholes should be rotting and dying in federal prison.
However, none of that should prevent us from slamming Putin for his war of conquest against Ukraine.
There's a Matter of Degree at play here. The thief is justified in criticizing the murderer.
BTW, that little slip that W made? I think it means he knows Iraq was a monumentally fucked up thing to do, and that it grates on his soul - and that's fine by me. Let that prick stew in it forever.
