[WikiEN-l] Be on the lookout, 172 is back

[Daniel Mayer]

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)?
