Current Events - January 2007

When the rest of the civilized world turns their back on capital punishment, the US continues it's barbaric ways with revenge killings. Why does the US think they need an annual defence budget of half a trillion dollars and are the ones to invade foreign nations? Why does the US feel it has the right to the largest stockpile of weapons of mass destruction yet other nations are not? Why are American such barbarians?

It makes my blood boil. I hope a Palestinian Militant takes action against the evil settlers.

I worry that Uncle Sam is helping to pay for these illegal settlements. And, as a US patriot, it really Pisses me off!

P.S. I use the name "jew" as a joke.

Even though his major prediction for 2006 (a tsunami was supposed to strike the USA) never happened. The 2007 prediction, which he says came from God, is about a massive terrorist attack on America sometime after September. He says it may involve millions of people in several major U.S. cities. He says it is possible that "chaos will rule", and that the attack could be nuclear. Based on his past failed predictions, I think the man needs a mental evaluation.

Considering we were lied to about WMDs and lied to about Al Qaeda terror connections in Iraq. Consider that the administration doesn’t want you to be reminded that it was the Neocons of the time that supplied chemical weapons technology to Iraq and the capability to produce WMD. Weapons that were used on the Kurds. Consider that it’s the opposition Shiites and the INC that supplied the information about the so-called “atrocities” in Iraq under the Bathe regime against Iraqis. Do you think that Saddam Hussein was not executed but politically assassinated on Saturday?

They most likely are in hiding, but why hasn't the media looked into this.

He wants the Jews dead and he denied that the Halocaust ever happened. My opinion is that if he did agree that the Halocaust did happen then that would completely change his view and condemn him. Am I wrong or what?

Since the US invaded Iraq, I've heard numbers as high as 600,000 dead Iraqis. I hope that is not true, but who knows.

I saw the speech Mary Fisher gave back in 1992 for the Republican National Convention back in my Public Speaking class last semester. It was a great speech, so great that it has me wondering months later if she's still alive.
I've looked at a couple of sights, but I can't find any good information on her. I have dial-up, so it takes me a while to find stuff out. Could someone do me a favor and search for me. I have this burning question in my head: If she was diagnosed with AIDS back in '92, could she still even be alive? Let me know! Thanks.

I've heard that people who have committed some of the worst atrocities in history were operating from a mindset that allowed them to think they were doing the right thing somehow. Do you think this is the case with Saddam, or is his just a case of absolute power corrupting absolutely?

i thought when saddam fell to his death, it would be in front of a crowd. did he fall thru just in front of the hooded men in private. i also heard after he fell thru, they also shot him to make sure he was dead. is this true.

I am a Christian but I am NOT of the 700 Club Pat Robertson camp. This man is an arrogant, pompous, a*s pretending to be a prophet. I think he should leave this kind of thing up to God; what about you??

the proposed "surge and accelerate" plan will send at least another 20 thousand troops to Iraq- not to train Iraqis to pull their own weight, mind you, but to provide greater "security"....presumably for Halliburton and other companies' employees. Did this man sleep through the last election, or does he simply not care what Americans think?

I mean, the UN has just decided to start a "hybrid" plan, which they believe will work. But the plan hasn't been started yet and frankly, i think that if they have waited so long (the genocide started 4 yrs ago) they don't really care much about the situation. they sould step in to protect the people, but until that happens, what is another way to stop the horrible murders of inncoent bystanders?

I'm not meaning to be disrespectful, but I cannot make a connection between honoring (or mourning) an ex-president and closing down the stock markets. Its not like any of the people who would have been trading needed time off to go the funeral. Nor are ordinary people rivited to the TV to watch the funeral like they were for the death of JFK.
Is this always done?

I only say this because didn't he have lots of doubles? And why was there no DNA proof shown on the news or anything to say that he is the real deal, I also find it strange that with all of Saddams money he could have been found so easily in a hole in the ground. I could be paranoid but the whole trial and sudden execution just seems to quick and like someones trying to hide something. Also where are his doubles now? The media has little mention of them.
