Eddie was in favor of leaving Iraq in Saddam's hands

I remember Eddie Vedder impaling a mask of President Bush just as the Coalition of the Willing was gearing up to liberate Iraq from a fascist and genocidal regime. That wasn't intelligent or rational. That was trying to work up the emotions of the ignorant with a bunch of hate-mongering.
IOW, if Vedder had been President, the Iraqi people would now be looking forward to another generation of Saddam and his two now-thankfully-dead sons.
He should tell that to Omar at http://iraqthemodel.blogspot.com/ and see how it goes over.
Eddie is a good guy, but he should stick to issues such as fighting Ticketmaster if you ask me. Trying to undermine the liberation of millions of people when finally, at long last, a Coalition for forming to do it...well, I give him the blue ink-stained finger for that.
I was just reading the new issue of the Atlantic Monthly. An article about the lawyers who will be defending Saddam in court. One of the them visited Saddam in custody and Saddam told him he was very happy when France and Germany opposed regime change. I'm sure he'd have been happy to hear about Eddie impaling a Bush mask as well.
