Saddam Hussein was the war monger, he invaded Kuwait remember?

18.03.2006 10:31

It was Saddam Hussein who was the war monger he attacked Iran in 1980 and invaded Kuwait in 1990. He also refused to co-operate with United Nations weapons inspectors for 12 years and defied 60 United Nation resolutions. All the allies did was enforce the will of the United Nations which was becoming a useless talking shop with no will to act to enforce its decisions. And don't forget that there were 50 countries in the coalition of the willing, so it was hardly a case of Britain and America acting alone.

Rice's visit to Liverpool

Anyone up for dressing in orange suits! An appropriate silent protest.

Evil is not a popularity contest

18.03.2006 18:42

Tragically, there is not a constant amount of evil in the world.
People like Saddam and Rice increase the evil. Then Coalitions of the Bamboozled
say, "Look bad man over there. Ignore bad woman over here." Thus ensuring the next evil can trundle onto the stage without challenge.Tell a Lie. Tell A big lie. Tell it loud and people will believe it. To Paraphrase the former German Propaganda Ministry. It's not an unpopularity contest where only the most reviled can be reviled. It's as many dead under occupation as under Saddam. Except nobody seems willing to show the faces of the newly killed dead babies.

Yes But..


Did you know she had an oil supertanker name after her

21.03.2006 00:47

She was a former Chevron executive.

I'll be there to boo the woman and what she stands for. She's helped to rape Iraq. Her kind is not wanted in our city.

Who's Saddam Hussain

21.03.2006 22:16

Errr... Saddam Hussain has nothing to do with the last three years of bloody occupation in Iraq. In fact he's been in jail. He can't even be held responsible for the invasion since he had complied fully with all the UN resolutions. And the US backed court can't even find any crime to prosecute him for since they were complicit with every single one of his actions. Maybe he should be moved to the Hague where he could be convicted for gassing the Kurds using American and German supplied chemicals. Remember, that was one of the crimes the invasion was justified by, even though it didn't seem too important to our government at the actual time it was happening.

Condi to visit Merseyside, home of the Beatles. Imagine.

22.03.2006 20:36

Lennon and Rice
Lennon and Rice

Well this is one up for the Scousers I must admit.

We Scots thought we were doing well when we had the G8 heads of government here at Gleneagles in July 2005 and I suppose we were doing well.

Lobbyists lobbied the G8, protestors protested and the G8 heads of government made some more promises.

But Liverpool and Blackburn have gone one better than Gleneagles G8 and that one is Condoleezza Rice, the leader of the free world.

“But hang on”, I hear you say, “isn’t Condi only Bush’s number 2, just the US Secretary of State?”.

Well yes and no. Constitutionally, the US Secretary of State is actually only number 4 in the US pecking order.

But the free world does not take its lead from the US Constitution - venerable though that is.

The love for freedom lives in the minds of men and women and each of us decide for ourselves in whom we place our trust and hopes for the future.

Increasingly, people who have heard Condoleezza Rice speak are looking to her to lead the free world at this time of challenge and opportunity. Many are actively pressing for Condi to run for President of the United States of America in 2008.

So Gleneagles G8 was like an orchestra without the conductor, a ballet without the ballerina or the Beatles without John Lennon.

Imagine a free and democratic Iraq with no dictators and no suicide bombers and a future of peace and prosperity for the people there.

That’s what happens when a war is won by the good people. It happened in Germany, in Japan and in Italy when World War 2 was won. So it is not too hard to imagine it happening in Iraq too.

Some may say that Condi and her Condistas are dreamers but we’re not the only ones. I hope some day they’ll join us, and the world will live as one.
