VITW: The Capture of Saddam Hussein

For a decade, Voices in the Wilderness educated the American people about the devastating effects of the cold war of sanctions on iraq. Now they've written about the "capture of Saddam Hussein":http://vitw.us/archives/000466.html. Here's a piece: bq. If Saddam Hussein can be tried publicly in iraq, if the truth of his crimes can be acknowledged and condemned, and if he can be held accountable by a legitimate legal body, perhaps it will help people in iraq to put his legacy behind them. Likewise, if the truth is told about US support for Saddam Hussein, support which dates back to 1959, if it is discussed openly and honestly, if it enters American homes and is part of our dinner conversations, perhaps it will help us awaken from our torpor and shake off the narcotic and lethal mythology that our government’s foreign policies are by nature wise and its military actions benevolent.
