America must invade Iraq to turn Saddam into a homeless man
This is part of the closing paragraph of a good read from <http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/372832.html>. It starts off


<snip>
A media victory
By Rogel Alpher

He deserves it. Morally, there are plenty of justifications for humiliating Saddam Hussein a bit in front of the world. He is a psychopathic mass murderer. But the American media treatment of his capture is an Orwellian nightmare for the following reasons:
l The main reason America went to war in Iraq was the claim that Saddam Hussein was manufacturing and in possession of weapons of mass destruction that he refuses to expose to international inspectors and which he refuses to dismantle. America claimed that if he exposed and destroyed those weapons, Iraq would not be attacked. It presented apparent evidence that strengthened its argument against Saddam. It was against the background of those assertions that the U.S. invaded Iraq and continues to hold it under occupation.

However, the weapons of mass destruction have yet to be found.

And then goes on about the Orwellian images, comparing Saddam to the characters in 1984.
