"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

The Trial of The Century

Arabs are weighing in on Saddam's trial. Although MSM has little or no interest in their thoughts on the matter, I thought you might. By all means, keep your eye on the Middle Eastern bloggers [on the blogroll to your left] for their pithy and heartfelt commentary on the end-game - it's as compelling reading as anything you'll ever see chronicled in the blogosphere. Start here or here.

MSM hasn't a clue - they're shameless. Actually, I can't imagine a time before weblogs - they're the tool that Arab people needed to finally turn the whole political process in the middle-east around. I still find it astonishing that - although they would certainly disagree on the details - GWB and OBL are essentially trying to achieve the same goal - depose the Mandarin class of ME dictators once and for all. This is the story history will ultimately record - if a) the Iraqi's are successfull in their transformation and b) history is truthfully told. Don't underestimate this pivotal moment in human experience - it's unparalleled in it's global significance.
