Down with Bush, Up with Saddam!
♠
“Characteristically among most of the world’s intellectual and political classes there seems to have been a good deal more sympathy for Saddam than for the man who toppled him. How terribly uncivilised of the Iraqis to put him to death! So much for democracy, sniffed the sort of people who could barely control their admiration for the recent film about the fictionalised assassination of President Bush.”

I just thought this was a nice contrarian point against the Euro-enlightened.
