Iraq the Model recently posted this harrowing first-person account of life under Saddam when he didn't like you.

Rwandans clip heads like rosebuds and we are pilloried for doing nothing. Serbians shove Bosnians into full-color live-at-five Auchwitzes and we are excoriated for letting it go that far. Somalis gleefully drag the half-naked bodies of people trying to feed and protect them, and we are made a laughingstock for leaving.

And now these very same people, these exact same people, threaten international incidents because they're not going to get a slice of a pie they paid nothing for. They sneer "war of conquest" because we didn't get extra-special-mother-may-I permission from a body of diplomats who can't even be trusted to pay their own parking tickets. They score political points over the bodies of our soldiers because an election is more important than a dozen dusty graves full of tiny white bones.

Fuck 'em.
