Shrub same as Saddam...

Saddam hanging one more colossal Bush screw up--so what else is new

If anyone actually thought that perhaps the execution of Saddam Hussein might have been done in a way that demonstrated the power and dignity of the rule of law they have either been watching too many old James Cagney prison movies or share the Bush administrations delusions about the sort of people they've put in power in Iraq.

 

This was the law used as cover for Shiite revenge. It was done in a way designed to insult and outrage the Sunni's from the choice of the date on a religious holiday usually devoted to expressions of joy to the masked executioners who shouted "Long live Mouqtada al Sadr" before pulling the lever that sent the Butcher of Baghdad to his death.

 

The official Iraqi government announcement that Saddam appeared a frightened and broken man at his execution was immediately belied by the grainy cell phone videos showing the Iraqi dictator defiant to the end.

 

Saddam Hussein looked like a damn martyr and hero while his executioners, supposedly the impersonal enforcers of law and justice, looked like moonlighters from the Shiite death squads.

 

Why did the Bush administration go along with this farce before they'd even tried the man for his most heinous crime--the gassing of the Kurds? Was it a vote of confidence in the new democratically elected Iraq government and a bow to Iraqi law? Was it the desire to get rid of a witness before Democratic committee chairmen started flocking to Baghdad subpoenas in hand looking to get Saddam on record? Was it the fear that trying Saddam Hussein for using poison gas on the Kurds would embarrass the U.S. who had at the very least turned a blind eye toward their then ally's brutality? Was it a desire to cause even more chaos in Iraq to justify Bush's planned escalation--er pardon me--I meant to say surge? Was it Bush's New Years present to his father? Hell, I don't know, take your pick. This thing was so rushed that they hadn't even taken the time to consider what to do with the man's body.

 

The only thing that I know is that we're about to hit the magic 4000 number in young Americans who are as dead as Saddam Hussein and that somewhere, presumably in a cave on the Afghan/Pakistan border, there's a guy who killed 3,000 innocent Americans laughing his ass off.

 

I cannot see one iota of difference in what Saddam did and what Bush is doing... both are murdering lying greedy filthbags. If we are going to kill all hated world leaders, we could begin with our own... we are such hipocrits!

In case you had any doubt . . . .

 

There's only one Peace Party!

Are you as outraged as we are about the Democrats capitulation to Bush when they voted to continue to fund the war in Iraq ? A CBS/NYT poll released last week shows that only 23% of the public approves of the way George Bush is handling the war in Iraq. Despite overwhelming public opposition to the war in Iraq, Democrats once again chose to represent the interests of the oil corporations and military contractors over the lives of our troops and the will of the American public. How many more Iraqi and American lives will be lost because of this cowardice ?

 

Last November, the public sent a message when they voted "No War" at the polls. Did the Democrats forget? By supporting the continued funding of the war without any kind of timeline for troop withdrawal, Congressional Democrats made it clear that they will not excercise leadership to get us out of the war in Iraq.

 

You understand that any true "peace party" must be free of the corporate interest that drives the government's decision to go to war in the first place. You understand that in order to realize a truly sustainable, secure, and prosperous future for all, we must build a party that refuses corporate cash. But what about your friends , neighbors , spouse, parent, child, aunt, roommates or coworkers ? If they oppose the war, have they switched to Green yet? Ask them to get involved in the nation's only true peace party.
