Tariq Aziz, R.I.P.

Tariq Aziz, Saddam Hussein's long time foreign minister has died, apparently from natural causes in prison. He had been sentenced to death seven years earlier. 

I kinda liked the guy. He was a good representative for his country, at least from what I'd seen of him on television. The one thing I remember him saying, just prior to the U.S. attacking his country was, "We don't want war. Let's trade!". Not that it helped change the minds of those bent on destroying Iraq.

One remarkable thing about this is the report Huffington Post made of his death. Not so much the report itself, but that this is probably the first time ever I pretty much agreed with nearly all the comments to a Huffington Post story.
