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.
-- We do not live in the 21st century. We live in the 20 second century.
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"?
