WHO WILL TEND YOUR GARDEN WHEN YOU'RE GONE?

From a CNN article about Saddam Hussein:

"He is looking after a few bushes and shrubs and has even placed a circle of white stones around a small palm tree," Amin said.

"His apparent care for his surroundings is ironic when you think he was responsible for one of the biggest ecocides when he drained the southern marshes."

Ecocide. Ecocide? Ecocide.
