Kofi Annan said in a BBC interview broadcast this morning that the situation in Iraq has become "much worse" than a civil war, and that life for average Iraqis is now worse than under the regime of Saddam Hussein: "they had a dictator who was brutal but they had their streets, they could go out, their kids could go to school and come back home without a mother or father worrying, 'Am I going to see my child again?'."
Asked for comment, President Bush said that Annan's remarks only underscored the bad feeling he had about graceful exits.

Quoth some jackass on NPR this morning (sadly, I didn't even hear who said it): "I'd rather win in Iraq with less public support than lose with more support..."
Democracy: spread.
My head hurts.
According to this Kofi fella, Saddam wasn't so bad afterall; 'cause it's better to do all the killing, raping and pillaging with secret squads in the middle of the night than out in the streets where everyone can see. Ah, how one longs for the good old days.
Aren't there some folks in Darfur we could be helping?
I shall be donating to Doctors Without Borders now.
Thank you for upsetting me again.
Good Doctor:
Well, that decides it then.
If Kofi says that things were better under Saddam, then we should make it so. He has not been exectuted yet.
Re-install him, say good-bye, and get out.
This may not be worse than what we face now and, based upon his track record, he would be likely to give Iran hell.
Right?
Thanks,

Televising the first-ever inauguration-execution event would certainly give rise to interesting media-buy opportunities.
How could any reasonable person disagree with Annan? There seems little possibility of any kind of internal stability in a single-state Iraq, without years of sectarian violence. The ethnic cleansing will start soon enough.
