Take a look at Saddam's human rights record coupled with the fact he was becoming one of the richest men in the middle east and an incentive to use nuclear weapons.

He was a dangerous man and it's a good job he was deposed now rather than later.

I believe I have the same point of view on this as "lefty" Christopher Hitchens.

You think Saddam was going to nuke the West? Really? That's what you really think?

I didn't understand a word you said but yes the Guardian is a biased left wing paper.

It's not that left wing. At the last General Election the Guardian urged its readers to vote for the Lib Dems. At best they are on the slightly pink side of liberalism.

The LDs are the most left wing of the three largest UK parties.

Er, yes they do. It is a very safe place as it is difficult to fall off.

...

As far as I'm concerned none of the three main parties are in any meaningful sense 'left wing' as such (but then I'm a Marxist-socialist). Beyond that, you might well be right in suggesting that the Lib Dems are left of the Labour Party.

The baby is on a mattress which is on the floor. If you look closely you can see the edge of the mattress.

Apparently exploitation of a photograph like this of our former Prime minister and his new born son is fair game amongst the ultra lefties? Immature, child-like journalism.

yeh the Daily Mail as a right wing conservative moral newpaper would never do that!

Their stories tend to be so biasedly left wing.
It'd be hard to find it now but recently i've read stories from them about why britain is so intolerant, a story about a train driver saying over the tannoy 'theives are about' because some eastern europeans got on a train....

I know that Iraq no longer has an extremely dangerous tyrant in control of some of the richest oil reserves in the world.

I know that Osama Bin Laden and Al Quaeda declared war on the West and have been getting slaughtered on their home turf ever since.

We also know that the we waged an unprovoked illegal war where more civilians have died in Iraq alone than soldiers in both Aghanistan and Iraq combined all for the sake of oil and not WMD which we all know never existed.

Is that worth the toppling of a dictator that we ourselves propped up in the 80s?

Also, what on earth do we know about ''Al Qaida'' except for what our military lenient governments are telling us? That they've declared a war that is yet to materialise except for when we invade other sovereign nations?

Yep, we're not the perpetrators of terrorism in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Somalia. Makes a lot of sense.

In the presence of newspapers such as the Daily Mail, there really is little one can say about the Guardian.

Satirical comments? Big deal. The man's lucky he's not tried in the Hague.

Making jokes about Iraqis being killed is hardly hilarious, is it? And I imagine that's what most of the comments were about. If I'm wrong, do please correct me. So far, I don't know enough about the Iraq war to feel one way about it or the other, but this constant hounding of Blair as if he's some kind of Hitler is getting a bit tiresome.

The jokes weren't making fun of the actual iraqis who were killed (that would be completely inappropriate), it was making fun of the 'killer' if you like.

Also the bit in bold... maybe that's you're problem

For the Guardian this is hypocritical, because as many have pointed out they are often first to jump to defend anybody easily offended. On the other hand, ignoring the hypocrisy, there is no issue with this image. Blair was, and is, a psychopath.
