This guy really does not think before he speaks or acts...

In one week he has come with anti-Semitic comments and now he is praising Saddam Hussein for killing non existent terrorists in Iraq.
 
Yes because liberals worked so hard and fought tooth and nail to get rid of sadaam.

hindsight is 20/20. Now I don't like trump(I'm voting Johnson btw) but I have already been of the mind that Hussein, as bad as he was, kept the country stable and, again, 20/20 hindsight, he would have been a much better alternative than having ISIS now.

Though I believe that there were other alternatives to Hussein to what we have now... and believe it was correct to assist in having him removed, I appreciate your response.

I think that it was an inappropriate platform to mention a very well known and uncomfortable dichotomy of political science and that he should have phrased it differently, if he wanted to bring it to mind.

Yes. He is not very pleasant. On the other hand, the dichotomy is well known in political science and it is quite intractable. It is certainly something to think about but is politically incorrect to discuss in its entirety.

If keeping the country stable means gassing thousands of your own citizens, then sure, he kept it stable.
