Today certainly is one of the greatest day since the fall of the Berlin Wall. But, as you said, what happened is a consequence to ecomonical imperialism. Sadly, the fight for freedom is a decoy for power and money. Who's next? Venezuela,Zimbabwe,North Korea?
Peace on Earth, it depends on us all! |

By Matz - slapstickclown@gmx.net Sun 14/12/03 09:25:56 GMT To say this at first: it's good they caught him. But have you ever asked yourself why certain western governments (in fact it was mostly one) installed, created or supported evil guys like Pinochet, Noriega, Bin Laden, Saddam, the Taliban, Shah Reza Pahlewi, the Saudi regime and many other brutal assholes instead of using their political and military power to prevent them? Thus these governments lost a lot of credibility and sympathy in the entire world.
Stay free in mind and wet in clothes!

By Kev - kev@styx-photography.com Sun 14/12/03 06:24:01 GMT I guess is was something to do with setting people free and if one person holds everyone in thrall then you have to get him.
Problem is when the west does something they're wrong, when they don't do something they're wrong.
Don't forget we are talking about a regime that killed at least 10 times more Iraqi's than the US has done, a regime that has almost exterminated the Marsh Arabs, gassed thousands of men, women and children. A regime that has already (twice- Iran and Kuwait) invaded a neighbour and virtually destroyed it through sick, wanton, destruction.
We should have finished it years ago- but the bleeding hearts called a halt- creating death and torture for thousands in Iraq. But it doesn't matter to them, they're safe and free in their own little worlds. How would you feel if your wife/mother/son/brother was hanging up on a meat hook in a torture chamber, whilst the cosy, safe people of the west argued about doing something about it?
Don't forget the old saying, which goes something like, evil exists when the good men of the world sit back and do nothing.
As for the other posting concerning terrorism. What's the alternative? What are the demands of the terrorists? It's quite simple really- give up our way of life!
So all we have to do is treat women like dogs, ban music and laughter and all the things in life we work for and enjoy. How do you negotiate with people who do not believe in your right to exist?
There would be no "free spirits" under this lot- wet or dry |

By wetlook wammer - nick_patchett@hotmail.com Sun 14/12/03 04:45:40 GMT Website: to coin a phrase from the us Administrator "Ladies and Gentleman we got him" Former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein has been captured alive near his home town of Tikrit. The US told the world: "We got him."
Reports have also suggested that Saddam has already be removed from Iraq by the US.
US administrator Paul Bremer told a packed news conference it was a great day for Iraqis. "The tyrant is a prisoner," he said.
Cheers and shouts of "death to Saddam, death to Saddam" erupted when a video of the former leader undergoing medical checks was shown to journalists.
Saddam looked dishevelled and tired, with long hair and a long, greying beard.
US and Coalition forces found him asleep in a six-to-eight-foot-long hole in the ground where he had buried himself to avoid capture. He had a suitcase of cash, a pistol and two rifles with him.
Captured: Saddam Hussein
He is now being held under tight security and has been described by the US as "talkative and cooperative" and "a man resigned to his fate".
DNA and medical tests have been carried out and the 66-year-old's identity confirmed.
Tony Blair, who returned to Downing Street from Chequers, said: "Let his capture bring about unity, reconciliation and peace between all the people in Iraq."
Three members of the Iraqi Governing Council visually identified Saddam. They said he was trying to justify his crimes and described him as tired and "unrepentant" and "defiant".
He is expected to be put on trial in public.
Hundreds of exultant people took to the streets of Kirkuk and Baghdad firing weapons into the air in celebration.
