64. Foolish
Edited on Tue Dec-27-05 10:21 AM by Donald Ian Rankin
You make some good points, but then you ruin it by claiming that "Dictator Bush has *surpassed* Saddam Hussein in torture and terrorism", enabling your readers to dismiss you as divorced from reality and ignore everything else you've said.

Undeniability is your friend. Hyperbole and overstatement are fatal in political debate. And while Bush has done many bad things, he's not even close to Saddam Hussein in terms of number or severity of people tortured.
