Saddam In His Underwear
The world is up in arms about published pictures of Saddam Hussein in his underwear. His lawyers said “In our opinion this is a violation of all international agreements and human dignity”. People are upset because the pictures could have broken the Geneva Convention. While I agree that publishing these pictures is not right, I have to wonder where all these people who are springing to Hussein’s defense were when he was violating other people’s rights. I’m generally a believer in treating people the way you would want them to treat you. This means that no matter how bad a person is you still extend them common courtesy and treat them humanely. But if someone is as bad a person as Saddam Hussein then what’s the big deal? He’s dehumanized so many so why can’t he be knocked down a peg or two publicly? It’s still not right to publish the pictures but it’s not really that big a deal.
