Saddam Hussein

* As proof of the theory that time wipes out all victories, Charles Duelfer has written an insightful essay on how Saddam Hussein is enjoying the last laugh on the United States (Opinion, Dec. 10).
Our allies are currently schmoozing with him in order to keep Iraqi oil flowing into their economies; they know the U.S. will do and spend whatever is necessary to keep his aggressive tendencies within reason. And everyone is turning a blind eye to his development of weapons of mass destruction. I wonder if James Baker will take credit for his role in the Gulf War the next time he takes credit for making George W. Bush our next president.
