So its "distasteful and unnecessary" to kill a vicious dictator who used chemical weapons on this own people, allowed his sons to beat their Olympic athletes when they didn't win, and murdered anyone who stood in the way of his absolute power.
Look I don't agree that we should have been in Iraq in the first place. But this man was the scum of the earth and you make it seem like he was the victim. Regardless of politics despots of his ilk should be brought to justice.
Sounds exactly like the premise of Rudy Rucker's novel, Software. A story of a man who seemingly lives forever, after he downloads his brain to a huge computer.
With each passing year "far-fetched" Science Fiction inches closer to reality. I think this really enforces the imaginitive genius of these writers. Progress begins with an idea, and it seems that many of the revolutionary ideas that guide scientific progress were once mere tales of Science Fiction.
