SADDAM HUSSEIN was rushed to the gallows as 2006 ended--a former dictator put to death under instructions from his one-time supporters in the U.S. government.

George W. Bush predictably declared it yet another “milestone” on “Iraq’s course to becoming a democracy.” But Hussein’s hanging exposes--yet again--the corrupt, hypocritical and criminal character of the U.S. war on Iraq.

For years, the U.S. and other Western governments propped up Saddam Hussein. They supported his wars against neighboring countries, and they supported his war on any and all Iraqis who dared to oppose him. Then, Hussein stepped out of line--and he suddenly became reviled in the West as a “modern-day Hitler,” bent on violence and responsible for terrible repression.

Little of this squalid history made it into the mainstream media’s accounts of Hussein’s life.

All those who attack Bush and Blair for Iraq - what would YOU have done?

(i) Would you have turned a blind eye to the torture and brutality and done nothing (as they treated Hitler in 1937), or

(ii) Would you have relied on the United Nations to talk about a solution even though they have failed to do anything of any real value for the past 50 years.

It is easy to criticize from the comfort of your living room; safe in the knowledge that you will never face such a decision in your lives, so now is your chance to tell us what YOU would have done about Sadam and the Kurds.

I got a traffic ticket for speeding. I am going to court tomarrow for it to a informal hearing. To make things clear I do take full responsiblity for this. But, as of right now I am in the process of getting a Job as a EMT and of course cannot have the points on my license because of how my record is now.

I did write the judge a letter after I got the ticket and asked if I could take a drivers improvment class and pay the ticket but not get the points because of my trying to get a job as an EMT. I received a letter back stating that after the judge read my letter that there will be an informal hearing for tomarrow.

I was told that it was more up to the cop then to the judge. That before the hearing I should speak with the cop and explain to him that I am in the process of getting an job as an EMT and if there was anyway that I could avoid getting the points on my record.My question is, is that true should I do that? Also is it a good idea to talk to him before the hearing?

War, poverty, exploitation and oppression are products of the capitalist system, a system in which a minority ruling class profits from the labor of the majority.

have secret gravesites for all the Mexican immigrants they murder, also in this special they stated the minutemen destroy the water and food supplies left by some human rights activists for the Mexican immigrants, this action they said contributes to many deaths.

I personally find this information true, because many Mexicans immigrants disappear crossing the border every year and their bodies are never found.
