Forum Overview :: Motherfucking News :: I'm saying that he might have been liked a little

[quote name="Senor Barborito"][quote name="Ulysses S. Anderson"][quote name="Senor Barborito"] What's interesting to me is that Saddam was that PO'd by the sanctions - I mean, really, he was feeding his people out of his own pocket during the sanctions which was great for political appeal (I've often often whether there might have been a sliver of truth to that election of his just because of that fact, heh) - that's a very, very effective control mechanism. If people don't eat without you, by default you call the shots. --SB[/quote] Is this what you meant by upper-class leftist intellectualism? Saddam Hussein, primary beneficiary of the Weapons For Palaces Program, was seen by Iraqis as more a Mother Theresa figure than the murderous thug the jew run media portrayed him as? Canada can't help but benefit from your emigration.[/quote] The human creature cannot help but develop a worshipful attitude toward those who dole out it's food. I'm sure he was still mostly hated, but I'm not sure he was <i>quite</i> as hated as we were led to believe because he cynically manipulated his own people. --SB[/quote]
