[news] Saddam Wasn't a Satisfying Scapegoat, So Now it's Off to Iran

[Resist!ca]

There was widespread disappointment, for example, that the September 11 
commission apportioned responsibility for the catastrophe so widely and did not 
name and shame an individual. It would have been very satisfying to offload our 
fear and rage on to a single culprit, make him bear the burden of our pain, 
vilify him and drive him into the political wilderness. The trouble with this 
type of projection is that it makes all too easy to ignore our own culpability.
