Prayers for the family of this fine Iraqi patriot.

Why didn't these fine Iraqi patriots and Iraqi heros do this when Saddam and his goons were still in power?

Why didn't these fine Iraqi patriots and Iraqi heroes do this when Saddam and his goons were still in power?

Because Saddam and his goons would have responded in a way the Coalition will not. And that's too bad.

Because Sadam and his goons would have killed everyone associated with anyone he expected was involved, wife, kids, grandkids the whole extended family.

He had no scruples about how to deal with people, kill them all and let Allah sort them out.

We are a bit to civilized to do that but that is about what it will take to eradicate the Sadam loyalists.

Start here and follow the link to Tales of Saddam's Brutality. I blame the press for not informing the people. The whole world should know by now how seriously twisted this regime was - and how long the Iraqi people lived in terror. Neighborhood Ba'athist 'minders' may have responded to a child accidentally letting it slip that his father criticized Saddam by imprisoning, then murdering the whole family. Sometimes they'd simply burn a baby alive in front of his mother to teach her a lesson. One mother hid her teenage son in a small, hidden room in the basement for over 12 years, because a paperwork error said that he had already been killed along with his father and brother.

In the end, knowing the press is not interested in accuracy - it's up to us to stay informed.
