Re: saddam hussein captured (some more things to say)
I applaud the troops for finding him and am hoping its a step up to sending
them home, much to the delight of their families but let's not forget the
soldiers who have died (like one who was killed around the same time saddam was
captured, when he opened a bomb he found). and let's not forget the iraqi
children and adults who had to deal with violence everyday and end up losing one or
more of their own, and also in some cases, losing their homes, thanks to both
US and iraqi forces.
I heard about a woman whose husband (or relative) died on 9/11, saying "nice,
you got saddam. now get bin Laden. we'd be happy about THAT". actually, I
think we would but I don't think it will happen due to his friendly ties to the
bush family (oil). if they do capture him, fine. probably an excuse for bush
to get re-elected. (like his thanksgiving visit to the troops with a fake
turkey).
meanwhile, north korea is making nukes and telling us this to our faces, but,
much like the other dictators in the world, we don't wanna know about it.
