The eternally-perky Wendy Mesley at the end of CBC's National tonight:
"And in the coming days, we'll be bringing you this documentary, The Scars of War.
Young woman: "I was just a child when my aunts and grandfather were arrested and we went to see them in prison. I just wanted to hug them. I would put my hands through the bars so that my grandfather could kiss them."
Voiceover: They were executed by the Hussein government. How does a nation learn to heal itself?
I dunno, Wendy. Probably a 2000-pound JDAM dropped on Saddam's head was a good way to kickstart the discussion.
The scars of war? It wasn't George Bush who tore that man from his granddaughter.
It wasn't Tony Blair who raped and tortured her aunts.
It was Saddam, and he's lately joined the bleedin' choir invisible.
You know, that icky thing called "regime change."
