The Driving Forces in IraqNo leader of any country, no matter how cruel, inhumane or stupid he might be, would purposely deny his own people the necessities of life, wrote Al Taylor in an October 23 letter to the editor of The Providence Journal. Upon digging up the edition of that paper with Saddam Wouldnt Be That Bad to His People for this column, I was surprised to discover that it had the same author as an email that I recently received attacking my essay, Who Are These People? I say surprised, not shocked. But maligning Mr. Taylor is not my intention. He has just provided such a concise albeit extreme example of a way of thinking that I quote him directly to avoid accusations that I am creatively rebuffing arguments that nobody is making.
