He was unbelievably cruel but maybe that's the only way to go when you want to control a country like Iraq.

I'm sure Moore would have plenty to say about Iraq.. eg.. How the US (and the rest of the world) knew Saddam was a bully/assasin and for that very reason, the US engaged him to murder the finance minister of Iran on behalf of the US. And also how the US then provided him with weapons to instigate a war against Iran.
The irony was.. Iran had, at that time, a democractically elected government, but that shit opened the doors for extremists to hijack the place - another US fuckup.
I'm sure Moore can catalogue a load of "incidents" and relationships with Saddam and the US goverment - tho I'm sure they last thing they want is to have history quoted back to them :-)
If Moore wants to point fingers at hypocracy - hell, good luck to the guy!
It's well-passed time someone had the balls to quit the media bullshit and provoke some healthier thinking. I think that's what some call "democracy"
