Dean did in fact say he was'nt sure if Iraq was better off with Saddam out of power - and Hannity called him out on it. What a loser.

I think Dean was wrong to deny that he had made the remarks, but I also think that Safire is misinterpreting what he said. The end was the removal of Uday and Qusay. The means was the US going to war in Iraq. Dean's comments imply that he thinks that the removal and deaths of Sadaam's sons was a good thing, but that this good thing does not retroactively justify the means, the war itself. I disagree with him, seeing both the ends and the means as good. But to imply, as Safire does, that Dean thought Uday and Ousay's downfall was a bad thing misconstrues Dean.
