A French commentator interviewed on BBC today said that anti-American rhetoric in the French media is coming to a point where one would expect the 'canonization' of Saddam Hussein. Anti-war protests is well and fine but we must also be cautious not to swing too far in the opposition direction to the extend of potraying Saddam Hussein as a hero.

Saddam Hussein is a villian of Bond proportions. But I'm not sure if Iraq can be saved by Bond-like adventurism by the coalition forces. But war has begun and the war has to be pursued to its logical conclusion.
