When 45 million people have broken the law, the law may not be an ass but it is certainly an endangered species. Most countries still hang tough on hard drugs like cocaine and heroin, but when it comes to grass, they go with the flow. Despite lingering strict anticannabis laws--smoking a joint in Britain can technically result in five years in jail--the way millions flout those laws is pushing European governments to adapt...

He maximizes the suffering of his own people under sanctions by restricting the flow of food and medicines that are actually available, knowing that this simply builds pressure on Arab regimes to break with Washington on the blockade. Similarly his more aggressive air defenses - Saddam knows that by turning on his radar and firing SAMs he's going to draw the fire of U.S. and British war planes. That's exactly what he wants - at best he'll eventually hit a plane and cause a political crisis over...
