My grandpa moved into Iraq as British Ambassador the week after the Ba'ath Party seized control- he said that democracy would never be reached under them or Saddam, and he was kicked out- thank god nothing worse happened like it did in other countries!
When you see the pictures you can't help but feel a pang of sympathy- i think its human- but then you stop and realise how cruel, and evil and absolotely corrupt that man is and i feel no sympathy at all.
aaah, hypocrasy at its finest! lol, your grandpa was very lucky. it's great when parties are all for you coming to their country and working for them, but the moment you say something against what they belive, BAM your out! it's the same way with our government too! my history teacher told us how A LOT of people in the army, and people who are way up in ranks, are against what we're doing to Iraq, but no one says anything because the people that have have been fired.
yeah, at the XMas party i went to someone said how he looked a little sympathetic, and we all agreed....for about a second. like i've said before, this man is about the only man i would ever compensate my morals for.
