Regardless of their principles, there are people who vehemently HATE each of these men.
Arafat? Many Palestinians think he was a corrupt figurehead who delayed the peace process. Saddam? I mean, do we even have to go into the actual history here? [/b][/quote]You hit my point precisely. For example, why is it ok for us to bash Castro because he doesn't run a democracy? We're 'allowed' to say we hate him as much as we want. If someone says they hate Bush, they're called a commie and anti-American. -Pat
