From Mark Steyn's mailbag. Steyn himself is all too frequently praised on this page for me to pretend to evenhandedness, but this letter written to him by one of his readers deserves to be widely reprinted:
EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO HIS OWN TYRANTReaders might want to see Steyn's obit for Strom Thurmond, while there.
WMDs were the main reason to remove Saddam Hussein, but none were found yet. As his removal was unwarranted and in blatant breach of many UN charters, wouldn't it be fair, at least as an interim measure, to install a tyrant in Iraq, until the weapons are found?
I'm sure North Korea or Cuba could lend one, and some of Pol Pot's cronies are still around.
This way, we can, at least partially, redress the gross injustice forced upon the Iraqi people.
