-- In case we have started to see things from the no hoper's perspective, how the Iraq war was illegal and it should never have happened, how America is in economic ruin, how the troops in Iraq are all dying needlessly and should be pulled out asap. Lets remind ourselves of what was before the liberation and what would have continued if we decided to sit back and do nothing, if America had chosen a, seek-global-solidarity-while-doing-nothing, John Kerry.
A witness in Saddam's trial and they are just getting started,
Ahmed Hassan Mohammed detailed the killing of 148 people in the village of Dujail, north of Baghdad, in 1982. The Iraqi forces' torture equipment included a mincing machine sometimes fed with living human bodies, he said.
He told how women and children were tortured, and said that dead babies were often abandoned in public. The court heard him describe how one of his friends was killed: "They broke him. They broke his arms, his legs, and they shot at his feet," said the witness.
George Bush once labelled Iran as part of an axis of evil, the haters mocked him and laughed, oh look at that fool from Texas. The Europeans held hands and caricatured his foreign policy, global relations, pre-emptive bungling, how many times do we need to tell those fools across the atlantic how things should be done, we will deal with Iran and secure world peace.
Well it's been a few years since all that, Paris is burning, the Germans are seeking better relations with that bungling Texan, the Dutch are careful with what they say about Islam, Europe is still negotiating with, misunderstood-and-alienated-by-America, Iran over its nuclear ambitions.
Meanwhile,
Russia has confirmed a deal to sell surface-to-air missiles to Iran, insisting they are for defence only. Russian Defence Minister Sergei Ivanov said a contract to deliver TOR-M1 missiles to Iran had been signed.
He said the deal "in no way upsets the balance of forces in the region," Russian news agencies reported. Iran has reportedly agreed to buy 29 of the mobile air defence systems in a contract worth more than $700m (£400m; 600m euros).
Earlier, Iran announced that it was planning to build a second nuclear power plant in the south of the country, despite coming under pressure from the international community over its nuclear ambitions.
They keep building and stock piling, on and on while the world keeps dithering. I guess its a good thing that bungling Texan decided to field missile defence capabilities back in 2002 [keep reading and you might be surprised by the foresight thing].
Pakistan's government is to remove a poem from a school textbook after it emerged the first letters of each line spelt out "President George W Bush". Critics say it praises Mr Bush. Its rhyming couplets describe someone "solid as steel, strong in his faith.
Oh no, praise for George Bush, can't have any of that, I wonder if these critics would be jumping up and down if the poem had been about Osama Bin Laden.
I wonder if this is a weak form of retaliation for the recent, blown-to-smithereens, death of one of their jihadist bretheren in Waziristan.
THE LEADER by anonymous
P atient and steady with all he must bear,
R eady to meet every challenge with care,
E asy in manner, yet solid as steel,
S trong in his faith, refreshingly real.
I sn't afraid to propose what is bold,
D oesn't conform to the usual mould,
E yes that have foresight, for hindsight won't do,
N ever backs down when he sees what is true,
T ells it all straight, and means it all too.
G oing forward and knowing he's right,
E ven when doubted for why he would fight,
O ver and over he makes his case clear,
R eaching to touch the ones who won't hear.
G rowing in strength he won't be unnerved,
E ver assuring he'll stand by his word.
W anting the world to join his firm stand,
B racing for war, but praying for peace,
U sing his power so evil will cease,
S o much a leader and worthy of trust,
H ere stands a man who will do what he must.
Even his critics, oops haters (Telling it straight) have to agree that the above describe George Bush very well.
But the poem has prompted criticism in local media in Pakistan, where there is opposition to President Pervez Musharraf's support for the US-led "war on terror". Some opposition members say the poem shows the government has gone over the top in its support for the US.
The United States has sent army personnel and aid for the Pakistan earthquake victims, not because they have to, but because they wanted to. Perhaps the opposition leaders should head into the mountains and explain to the refugees, how it would be over the top to accept aid from the America, they can use anti American rhetoric to fill their bellies and jihadist illusions to shelter from the elements.
