    Doesn't it bother you at all that you would consider the
    Baathist murderers to be analogous to the U.S.'s original
    revolutionaries and founders? Those like Saddam Hussein
    ---criminals against humanity of the first degree--- need
    to be hunted down after they lose wars!

    Exactly the same thing was done to the Nazi organization
    after WWII, and ought always to be done. Because if it is
    not done, a ruthless minority of fanatics will once again
    assume power, and the atrocities will go on and on and on.
    It's how history works, unfortunately.
