Aloofi, that "article" really is a heap of crap. It offers no evidence, other than a few misquoted or misguided comments from obscure lefties.

Has anyone noticed an indifference in the precincts of the far Left to the fatalities of 9/11 and the horrors of Saddam Hussein?

Not really.

Norman Mailer called the suicide hijackers "brilliant."

Any quote of just one word is suspicious from the start.
From the Oxford concise English Dictionary: "Brilliant: 2exceptionally clever or talented."
In terms of concept and planning, the WTC attack was brilliant. Anyone planning an attack would be looking for something that was simple, low cost, low risk and devastatingly effective. the 9/11 attacks were all of those things. The fact that loads of innocent people died wasn't brilliant, but the effectiveness and cleverness of the plan cannot be denied.

unsure "which is more frightening: the horror that engulfed New York City or the apocalyptic rhetoric emanating daily from the White House."

I agree with this sentiment completely. As far as I'm GWB has desecrated the memories of the 9/11 victims by using their deaths to advance his own agenda. He has used the attack as nothing more than political currency, with which he has bought draconian anti-freedom legislation and unjustifiable warmongering in the middle east. Sure 9/11 was scary, but isn't an Orwellian America even scarier? Do we really have to start reeling out those "he who is willing to sacrifice freedom for security..." quotes again?

More recently, it appears that none of the millions of antiwar demonstrators have a bad word to say about Saddam Hussein nor an iota of sympathy for those oppressed, tortured and murdered by his regime.

As has been mentioned several times lately, an anti-war stance is NOT a pro-Saddam stance. He is a monster, but I don't believe for one minute that the proper way to get rid of a monster is to feed him to an even bigger one.
