His Night With Saddam

Dr. Mark Green reflects on his night with Saddam Hussein, who was charming and chatty after his capture.

And then there was this:

For me, this was obviously a great opportunity for me to be part of history. When I think back, I can reflect on it this way: There was a murderous dictator ruling Iraq tyrannically and he’s no longer ruling Iraq. Now the people of Iraq have the opportunity to choose their own legacy. And if there is a legacy for American soldiers in Iraq, it is that Iraqis can choose their own destiny, where before they had no choice.

Whatever one thinks about that war the pride of men like Mark Green to have ended Saddam's tyranny is thoroughly justified.
