Well, let me just note that when I was younger I remember seeing Mussolini strung up by his heels, and I had no sympathy for Mussolini. And I have seen dictators strung up by their heels, and I don't care what they did to Saddam Hussein. I don't care that. The people that we need to care about in this world are innocent, honest people that want to build a better world, not these gangsters who get power and slaughter innocent people.
