Subject: Re: "diversionary attack on the people of Iraq"
I would have ignored the political post about the impeachment
proceedings
had it not been for the mention of "diversionary attack on the people of
Iraq". War truly is hell. I have seen that with my own eyes. I
sincerely
sympathize with the people of Iraq like I would have sympathized with
the
people of Germany & Japan in 1945. Unlike Mr Farm Connection however, I
have also met survivors of Saddam Hussein's genocide against the
indigenous
peoples of Iraq- the Kurds & the Shiite Marsh dwellers. I have held the
hands of a graduate student from Iran & listened to him sob & tell about
pulling the bodies of his classmates & professors out of the rubble of
buildings in Teheran thanks to Mr Hussein's missiles. If Saddam was
causing the extinction of spotted owls or sorghum germ-plasm he would
be
considered a monster in this forum. Are the Kurds & Shiites less
important?
I AM PHYSICALLY SICKENED by smug, self-righteous stooges making
apologies
for the most barbaric regime in the world (Iraqi Baath) from their safe
homes where they don't have to fear the knock on the door in the night,
the
"krumpph" of the nerve-gas cannisters or the air-raid sirens warning the
approach of the 'Scud' missiles.
I'm sorry- that one hit a nerve. Pat
