Pretty lucky that Saddam Hussein, an absolute cock don't get me wrong, had that 'stroke' recently before he was due to be turned over to officials for questioning and trial. Too bad I'd have liked to hear his thoughts as, yet another, US propped up despot I think he might have had some interesting insights, being an insider an all.
Osama bin Laden, ('who? OH him... right, I think I remember him') was trained by the CIA in Afghanistan to fight the 'evil' Russians but this too eventually went pear-shaped as most American interventionism in the Middle East tends to do. (Can you even tell me why you tyhink the US is SO involved in that particular part of the world?)
Israel is a nation of terrorists, not that Palestine isn't, yet the US is sides with Israel, proveds them with weapons, excuses and cover-ups all because of the worlds of one dusty old book.
Osama's damned lucky that everyone's been brainwashed into forgetting about him. Maybe he'll come good again one day. I guess it all depends how useful he is in the region.

What infuriates me most is people who use the fairytales of the ancient Greek myth of Herakles Romanised as Hercules and grafted onto the life of Yoshua-Ben-Yosef generations after the fact to claim moral and ethical superiority over those they decree to be heathens just because we value human life more than constructed ideology.
Humanists see all loss of life to be a tragic waste, not just those on 'our side'. Helping humans in distress is exactly what was NOT done in Iraq and Afghanistan. There are many people in distress in your own country, why aren't those military monies being spent to feed clothe and shelter those poor wretches?
If you choose to believe the lies then do so but don't think for one second that you can claim the high ground when you have no clue why the US really went after Saddam.
