No other living dictator matches Saddam Hussein's record of waging aggressive war against his neighbors, ... pursuing weapons of mass destruction, using them against his own people, launching missiles against his neighbors, brutalizing and torturing his own citizens, harboring terrorist networks, engaging in terrorist acts including the attempted assassination of foreign officials, violating international commitments, lying and hiding his W.M.D. [weapons of mass destruction] programs from inspectors, deceiving and defying the expressed will of the United Nations over and over again. Donald Rumsfeld
