At least that’s what this Neo-Mosleyite, David “Make the Trains Run on Time” Cox, seems to be saying at al-Grauniad’s “Comment is Free (and you get every last penny’s worth)” (link via Hot Air):

Three months ago, Tony Blair warned the world that an “arc of extremism” now stretches across the Middle East from Iran to Lebanon. This phenomenon, he suggested, threatens the survival of the very values on which western society is based. Yet, when Blair came to power, no such claim could have been made. Slap-bang in the middle of his currently awesome arc, lay a fortress of stability in the shape of Saddam’s Iraq.

The Stability of the Grave™, one might add. Not to mention that the “stability” was only ensured by the presence of a lot of angry American soldiers and airmen ready to pounce upon the soon-to-be-dangling Saddamned Insane, should he decide to once again demonstrate his commitment to “stability” by invading his neighboring countries.

Saddam had tied down revolutionary Iran, the most potentially destructive force in the region, in an eight-year war, at the expense of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi casualties. Any Islamic terrorists found on Iraqi territory were summarily executed.

Unless they happened to be Abu Nidal or connected to al-Qaeda. Or any of the paleswinian splodeydope groups that he supported financially.

The Middle Eastern oil that underpins our society, and therefore the values that our Prime Minister holds so dear, flowed freely into our refineries.

Once the Useless Nitwits and George Galloway had taken their cut, that is.

Within Iraq itself, a secular state offered women opportunities unimaginable in nearby countries,

State-of-the-art Rape Rooms with hot and cold running acid.

…and provided a standard of living far from unreasonable by the standards of the developing world.

…as long as you were allowed to stay alive, of course.

Three objections were made to this state of affairs.

The first was that Saddam had expansionist ambitions. His annexation of Kuwait in 1990 was, however, rooted in a long-standing territorial claim based on the fact that Kuwait had been part of Basra province under the Ottomans and was only hived off under British colonial rule.

And that’s all David “Heil dir, Saddam, in Siegeskranz” Cox needs to know. We’ll have to remind him of that, should the Danes remember their “long-standing territorial claim” on Britain.

Somewhat disconcertingly for Iraq’s current liberators, this claim was revived in 2004 by none other than the US-appointed President of Iraq’s Interim Governing Council.

And quickly slapped down as a bunch of nonsense, never to be heard of outside of al-Jazeera and Common Dreams, but we repeat ourself.

But, to sum up, David “Mussolini” Cox doesn’t see much sense in criticizing Saddam for invading his neighbors whenever he saw fit since he had a “long-standing territorial claim” on those neighbors. Just like Hitler had on Poland, don’t you see? The rise of Saddam must have filled David’s heart with joy, since he no longer had to lament that he’d been born too late to worship at the feet of Adolf.

The second objection was that Saddam was developing weapons of mass destruction. Why he stopped doing so, we shall perhaps never know,

Most likely because it’s hard to run a weapons program when you’re locked up in a cell and you’re no longer in charge, but that’s just our guess.

…but when he had such weapons, he chose to use them against Iranian armed forces and Iraq’s own dissident Kurds, rather than for any purpose that threatened the wider world.

Those damn dissident Kurdish women and children of, say, Halabja, who only got what they deserved, according to David Cox of the al-Grauniad. At any rate, who really cares about all of those corpses in Saddam’s mass graves? They’re only wogs, after all, so David doesn’t feel any need to sympathize with them. Damn Untermenschen.

Had he acquired nuclear weapons, this might have proved a useful check on Iran’s regional ambitions.

Or the existence of Israel, but we’re not even going to venture a guess as to what David Cox feels about those pesky Jooos. It’s doubtful that he’d feel too bothered by their extermination.

Today, Iran appears to pose far more danger to the outside world than Saddam ever did, yet we seem to have no plans to deal with this country as we did with Iraq.

Says David, while stomping around his moldy flat in jackboots, listening to old 78 rpm recordings of his beloved SS.

The final objection to Saddam’s rule, on which more and more weight has necessarily had to be placed by those responsible for his downfall, is that he abused the human rights of Iraqi citizens. Quite clearly he did. Yet, why should it be assumed that this consideration trumps all others?

Oh yes. He actually said that. Go over the graf again if you don’t believe us.

“Who cares what abuses he heaped on the Iraqi people? It’s not like that’s important, since I’m not an Iraqi”, quoth the great humanitarian, David von Cox.

Iraq was created by the victors of World War I. Its Shia, Sunni and Kurdish peoples did not choose to be flung together, and their antagonisms made the country a powder-keg. Saddam believed that such a nation could be held together only by brutally effective repression. Current events suggest that he may have had a point.

AND he made the trains run on time!

Doubtless, Saddam’s security services killed many Iraqis. However, the 2003 invasion appears to have resulted in at least 45,000 violent civilian deaths.

…said number being lifted directly off of Iraq Body Count, whose multiplication skills are second only to those of The Lancet.

Back in 2004, before things had reached their present parlous state,

…and just in time for the 2004 Presidential election. Imagine that.

…a study published by The Lancet suggested that the risk of death for a civilian in Iraq had already become 58 times higher than it was under Saddam. Taking into account invasion-caused mortality from accidents, heart attacks, disease and so on, it was estimated that Iraq had already experienced at least 100,000 additional deaths as early as September 2004.

The famous study that concluded that they were 95% certain that the number was somewhere between 8,000 and 192,000, so they split the difference right down the middle and called it an even 100K.

It didn’t work out quite the way the mendacious quacks at The Lancet had hoped for, so two years later, again just in time for a U.S. election, they came out with a study that claimed, based on three telephone interviews with al-Zarqawi, that the U.S. had caused 655,000 million gazillion jillion civilian deaths in Iraq, and that was just yesterday before tea.

Pardon us if we don’t exactly take The Lancet seriously.

Saddam would have had his work cut out to match these figures.

Not really. According to the Human Rights Watch, not exactly the most notoriously anti-Saddam source you can find, at least 300,000 were murdered by his regime. Other estimates go as far as 2,000,000. The exact number may never be known, but we do know that more and more mass graves keep being found whenever somebody swings a shovel over there.

But what does David Cox care? They were only filthy Iraqis, and those silly savages don’t really deserve any better.

So, why are the Iraqis better off without him?

Oh Dear G-d, grant me a week with that worthless, toothless Limey tosser, just him and me alone in a shed out in the middle of nowhere, a shed stuffed to capacity with rusty surgical instruments.

Then, once I let the slobbering sack of skin go, pissing all over himself and smeared in his own feces, perhaps he’ll finally understand just why Iraqis might be better off without Saddam doing the same to them on a daily basis.

The only answer available is that now they are “free”. Well, we all value freedom. Some value it more than life, and those who do certainly go on about it. Nonetheless, they are probably a minority.

Spoken like a true EUroSlave.

“Sure, that ‘freedom’ thing is awfully nice, but really now, is it really all it’s cracked up to be?”

Living under tyranny may not be ideal, but it is not impossible.

Oh yes, Commissar Coxucker is about to give us a lesson in why “tyranny isn’t all that bad, old chap.”

In the Soviet Union, life took on a character of its own, in which the human spirit managed to flourish in spite of the political constraints.

Obviously Commissar Coxbreath never actually got within two time zones of the Soviet Union, or he’d know just exactly how full of rancid shit he is.

Some of us, however, did visit that communist hellhole and witnessed, first hand, just how the human spirit “managed to flourish” under tyranny. If only Putin would re-open a few of the Gulags so that the salon socialists of the west can go “flourish” in Siberia for a year or ten.

The literature generated in those conditions can still inspire us. Today, many former Soviet citizens feel no more free under the yoke of global capitalism than they did before, and some would like to see the return of Stalinism.

And for the longest time, some Germans still longed for the joyous days of Naziism.

Obersturmbannfuehrer Coxmegma would probably approve, had he not been born a little too late.

The people of China seem in no rush to jettison a regime that holds out the prospect of prosperity at the expense only of liberty.

The prospect of somebody running a tank over you or harvesting your organs tends to focus the mind wonderfully.

Even in Britain, our supposed attachment to our supposed freedom turns out to be tenuous. We seem content to toss aside ancient liberties in the face of a dubious war on terror, and we live, cheerily enough, under a regime of surveillance that the KGB might have envied.

Proof again that Coxucker has absolutely no farkin’ idea what he’s talking about and, sadly, there is precious little chance that anybody will ever have a chance to educate him.

Saddam offered his people a harsh deal. Yet, their lives were at risk only if they chose to challenge his authority.

“Hey, it wasn’t all that bad! You’d only get killed if you dared exercise your right to disagree! No big deal, right?”

Or if he THOUGHT you disagreed. Or if somebody he knew thought that you might have thought about maybe disagreeing if you remembered to think about it. Or if you happened to be a female between the ages of 9 and 16 and one of his psychotic sons took a fancy to you. Or if you forgot to avert your eyes when he walked by. Or if he was just bored.

But none of that matters to David Coxmell. It wasn’t he who had to live every single depressing, fearful day of his pointless life in mortal fear of being tortured to death at the whim of a psychopath, after all, so why would he care?

Now, they die because of the sect to which they happen to belong. Soon, their country may fall prey to a savage civil war. If that happens, the Iranians will doubtless intervene, along, perhaps, with Turkey and Israel. No one can predict where that might lead, but the outcome is unlikely to be positive for peace, prosperity, justice or, indeed, human rights.

If Saddam were still in power, he would have stopped this happening.

AND HE’LL MAKE THE TRAINS RUN ON TIME!

I’d tell you to slap that erection down, David Coxlurper, if I could be sure that that’s what it is and not simply a macaroni caught in your zipper.

Iraq’s dissidents would have paid a price, but the rest of us would be a lot better off. As he goes to meet the hangman, the world has cause to rue his demise.

And the moment somebody decides that it’s time for you to stop wasting oxygen, you dictator-worshipping pole-smoker, this world will become better place. Not by much, but little things matter, you know. Not to mention that I’d have the pleasure of writing an Ode to Joy, praising the wisdom and courage of whomever it was that finally decided to rip your throat out and shit down the jagged, profusely bleeding hole.

I’d enjoy every last mother-loving SECOND of it, you worthless swine.

Is there any way that disgusting, slimy, feces-smeared nematode could be “extraordinarily rendered” to the good people of Iraq in the middle of the night?

I’m sure they’d have a thing or two they’d like to discuss with him.
