It is worth remembering that Saddam Hussein was not your run-of-the-mill dictator. He created one of the most brutal, corrupt and violent regimes in modern history, something akin to Stalin's Soviet Union, Mao's China or Kim Jong Il's North Korea.

If history can pay Saddam any homage at all, it will be that he knew what it took to keep the factions in Iraq in line. A vicious dictator for a people who would be ruled by nothing less.

Factions of people who won't get along, shouldn't be forced to. Obviously, a society that is divided against itself is more than one society and it is immoral and foolish to insist that national boundaries be drawn without regard to the peopole who inhabit that land.
