3. To an extent, you have a point
Edited on Sat Jun-05-04 09:48 AM by sirjwtheblack
Sure, America enabled him and should take some of the blame. However, he STILL did many horrible things while in office. Not making a direct comparison, but was Hitler any more acceptable because the German people allowed him to take power? Of course not!

The point is, just because he COULD do it, that doesn't make it right. And personally, I don't give a flying fuck if he's sick or not - he was personally responsible for the deaths and/or impoverishment of hundreds of thousands (if not millions) throughout the world. Whether dying or alive and healthy, he was what he was, and nothing will now change that.
