Gorbachev: Saddam needs to step down

Former Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev says that the time has come for “Hussein to become a peacemaker and step down.” Gorbachev further states that the war in Iraq is “a huge political mistake. It is a blow to the United Nations, primarily its Security Council and to international law as a whole.”

You mean that by our actions in Iraq we are taking a swipe at notions of international law that promote state-sponsored abortion, are completely inept at preventing WMD proliferation, and simply have no authority unless backed by the United States itself? Boo hoo.

I never signed the Geneva Conventions, and looking at the way our POWs are being treated, neither did Saddam.
