I always think things have gotten really weird when people say stuff like this. As if Sadaam Hussein and the entire history of his dictatorship in Iraq was scripted, and only really existed in some alternate reality of fairy tale and fantasy. Or at the very least, that the documented history of Sadaam - all the movies and news clips and magazine ads and UN sanctions and suicide bombings and mass graves and invasions and torture and such - were part of a hollywood produced movie, where in fact Sadaam and Bush and Putin and Chirac and Singh and Zemin were actually good friends who vacationed together in sunny locales and played poker together every week.

To stray from that for a second, If we can pretend for a moment that the tooth fairy is real and that Sadaam was in fact a bad guy, it seems to me that whatever evidence we were given by hollywood points to a guy bent on regional dominance by any means necessary. Yes, hollywood has provided us with a cast of characters saying Sadaam violated this, but hasn't done that, but is contained, but is still a threat, but is still shooting at planes, but the no-fly zones are working, but he still violates 10 years of UN-sanctioned weapons inspections, but no evidence of anything exists, but he killed a bunch of people with wmd at one time, but he's no longer a threat, but he had a history of funding islamic terrorism, but that he's been rehabilitated and is good once again, that he sponsors orphanages in the Congo and constructs universities in Baghdad, but he once invaded a country and tried to enslave it, that he kills off political opposition and dissent, but he won 100% of the democratic popular vote for his 'presidency', but there is no evidence now of a means to project his ambitions in the region, and he is now honest and forthright, but he once fired missiles into Israeli cities, but now somehow he is contained and harmless and simply needs looking after like an old lady at a nursing home and the like.

It seems to me the movie is available to whomever wants to watch it. I guess we're all different, we all process our facts differently, we have the ability to see similar things in different ways. Sometimes what is black to one person, can be bright white to another. I guess one person's horror movie is another person's musical. It seems to me we've all watched the same story, and sliced and diced it up in 50 differents ways to suit our sensibilities.
