172 seems to really like his dictators and only appears to think warm, cozy thoughts about them.
He has just added a lot of text to [[Saddam Hussein]]. Now it is not as bad as what I've been hearing from the Iraqi Information Ministry but 172's text has failed to mention /anything/ bad about the man (POV of omission) and has failed to attribute many controversial statements to their adherents (it reads like an essay - Hm. I see is editing it some right now making it a little better).
Could somebody in the know bring some balance to this article (for example there is nothing in the article mentioning the oppressive policies of Hussein or the fact that he has terrorized his own people to such and extent that speaking out against him can get you killed - not to mention his ordering the use of chemical weapons against the Iranians and Kurds and the brutal crushing of uprisings following the Gulf War. Also the fact that the Arab world doesn't much care for him at all except for the fact that he has been standing up against American imperialism)?
