go to war in Iraq. If Bush is not brought to account for those lies, won't the democratic process be tarnished forever, and consequently the pride and value that Americans hold in democracy will also be lost?

Saddam Calls on Iraqis Not to Hate Attackers of Their Country in Internet Letter

Wednesday, December 27, 2006

BAGHDAD, Iraq — In a letter posted on the Internet Wednesday in the name of Saddam Hussein, the former dictator called on Iraqis not to hate the invaders of their country.

The letter, which was authenticated by one of Saddam's lawyers, appeared to be what the fallen leader would have said if he had been given an opportunity to address the court on the day he was condemned to death last month.

"I call on you not to hate because hate does not leave space for a person to be fair and it makes you blind and closes all doors of thinking," Saddam said in the letter published on a Website known to represent the Baath Party.


"I also call on you not to hate the people of the other countries that attacked us and who separated the people from those who govern them," Saddam wrote.

In this respect the letter contradicts a Baath Party statement published on the same Web site earlier Wednesday, in which the party threatened to retaliate against the United States if Saddam is executed.

In Amman, a member of Saddam Hussein's legal team, Issam Ghazzawi, confirmed to The Associated Press that the letter was authentic, saying it was written by Saddam on Nov. 5 — the day he was condemned to death for ordering the killing of 148 people, including children, who had been arrested after an attempt to assassinate him in the northern town of Dujail in 1982.

Do you believe President Bush's actions justify impeachment? * 388333 responses

Yes, between the secret spying, the deceptions leading to war and more, there is plenty to justify putting him on trial.
87%

No, like any president, he has made a few missteps, but nothing approaching "high crimes and misdemeanors."
4.5%

No, the man has done absolutely nothing wrong. Impeachment would just be a political lynching.

To those who think there was indeed a "war on terror" I suggest they start looking for Santa, Rapunzel, and Cinderella, as those are actually more real than that shitload of lies that america created to keep its people under a permanent state of fear and therefore approving any war it throws.

Actually, of all the made-up enemies America has had (nazi, commies, etc), none has been more pathetic than a buncha silly terrorist.

I atually miss the times when America had more believable enemies to "protect" the world from!

Smaller Government? President Bush's second-term agenda would expand not only the size of the federal government but also its influence over the lives of millions of Americans.

Fiscal Responsibility? Faced with a potential government shutdown, the Senate votes to raise the nation's debt limit for the fourth time in five years.

Manage the Military? Iraq is the "greatest strategic disaster in United States history," a retired Army general said yesterday.

Tough on Crime? Violent crime rose in cities and towns across the country in the first half of 2006, according to preliminary data from the FBI.

Maybe someone else has a better idea than me.
Maybe you can find a way to blame everything on Clinton...that's usually good for a chuckle.

The question is entirely legitimate since Jews (outside of Israel) are indeed overwhelmingly liberal and disproportionately left of liberal as well. For example, other than blacks, no American group votes so lopsidedly for the Democratic Party. And the question is further sharpened given that traditional Jewish values are not leftist. That is why the more religiously involved the Jew, the less likely he is to be on the Left. The old saw, "There are two types of Jews — those who believe Judaism is social justice and those who know Hebrew," contains more than a kernel of truth.

There was a question regarding george bush`s disregard for black persons, that developed onto a discussion of spike lee`s " when the levee broke" movie. There were implications for louisianas rights to recieve revenue for the oil in its gulf and that if it secceded from the union then it could be as rich as Bahrain let alone rebuild New Orleans. The question has mysteriously disappeard, there was no profanity or prejudice, WHY has it gone????? this is intolerable censorship. is yahoo under orders or what???

Whatever happened to those Americans, including Rumsfeld, who helped Saddam Hussein remain in power all throughout the 80s when he was doing what they wanted? Read below...

US intelligence helped Saddam’s Ba`ath Party seize power for the first time in 1963. Evidence suggests that Saddam was on the CIA payroll as early as 1959, when he participated in a failed assassination attempt against Iraqi strongman Abd al-Karim Qassem. In the 1980s, the US and Britain backed Saddam in the war against Iran, giving Iraq arms, money, satellite intelligence, and even chemical & bio-weapon precursors. As many as 90 US military advisors supported Iraqi forces and helped pick targets for Iraqi air and missile attacks
