Big deal.

Let me see if i understand the article.

People continued to do business with Saddam even though they knew he was a murderous bastard. In other words, "it's just business"

Wow, shocking stuff eh.

Now, the US has never done anything like that have they? No, Americans are far too moral to EVER do business with a bad guy like Saddam Hussein. No, they would never do that!!! We have self righteous indignation.

"What's that?"

"How do i explain all the business that the US did with Saddam prior to 1991?"

"Well of course, that was BEFORE Saddam became an evil dictator. Up until 1991 he was a good despot, so the USA did business with him. After 1991 he was a bad despot."

"Same goes for all those other evil dictators in the world who we do business with today!" They are good dictators!

Trust America to differentiate between good and bad dictators.
