on from the submitted-two-hundred-times dept.
MoonChild was the first of hundreds to submit that MSNBC, ABCNews and others are reporting that Saddam Hussein was arrested. This isn't normal Slashdot subject matter, but I figured it was worth mentioning.
This is news that matters? To whom? Us? How? My world doesn't change, just because he's captured. Not one bit.
Well, actually it does. It means that just about every channel is going to cancel their programs to tell us time and time and time again, that "this dictator was a threat to world peace, and killed puppies for fun".
'scuse me while I yaw.

Simply wonderful. A scapegoat for the Bush administration to parade around. Does anybody actually think this will do anything to help the situation over there? My Prediction: We sentence him to "Capital Punishment" and turn a bloody tyrant into a martyr for the cause... (think Charles I of England)

Yeah heaven forbid that the US govt lied to the world about WMD so they could invade a foreign land, get cheap gas, pump up the military, look good for the cameras and get a re-elect.
It seems the "goals" have quickly changed and all news is turning into "right, that's what we wanted todo in the first place!".
Recall that Bush was the one whining at hour long press conferences about how the world is so unsafe with his WMDs at large....
Well. I just hope he gets a fair and open IN Iraq. Then the world will see the US, British, French and Russian governments for what they are. Looters of the world's resources. Remember. The Brits are responsible for setting the political background in the whole middle eastern area. A background that allowed people like Hussein to rise to power. The Yanks that sold him military equipment and weaponry to stay in power. The French for getting the contracts for the country's infrastructure. The Russians for the oil trade with Iraq...
Fair trial my ass. He will be silenced as quickly as possible. There's even talk of the trial being able to hand out a death penalty.
I guess I can just keep on dreaming for these things to come out. I guess I can keep on dreaming that Iraq will not be the operations centre of the Yanks' greedy fingers getting into the Syrian, Lebanes, Kuweitian, Saudi and Persian pies....
One other thing. What's with the cheering by those people allegedly being journalists. Are there no real journalists coming out of the US anymore? Or have they been deprived of their right to speak out because they are "unpatriotic"?

: our government invaded a sovereign nation
I don't recognize the sovereignty of a nation that doesn't recognize the liberty of its people.
Anything else is an insult to the human rights of people who don't enjoy the freedoms you do. It's a shame you choose to exercise your free speech rights by advocating the suppression of theirs.

anyone that has to quote George Will should be taken out of circulation. Its bad enough that George Will exists, but to quote him....thats only helping to ensure that him and his ilk continue to be heard by the masses.
Go kill yourself soon, and save the rest of us from whatever dribble might come out of your mouth.

The military medical examiner found all traces of WMD left in the beard of the man that started all. Thank you, and good night.
