Sometimes it's hard to accept new information that challenges what you have been told. My sister and I had an interesting argument regarding the discovery of the bodies of the Russian royal family. I saw on tv about how they had found the bodies of the Tzar's family. They were preparing to bury them in a church in Russia.
My sister simply couldn't believe that those bodies were of the Russ. royal family! She said that they had been put in a pit of acid. I told her what I saw, and heard, but she couldn't believe it! Boy, was that ever frustrating!
As it turns out, we were both right! Apparently, the bodies had been thrown in a pit, and acid was indeed poured on them. However, the acid didn't devour all of the remains, so there were enough left of the bones to run tests on them, and they were found to be of the Russ. royal family! The house that they had been shot in was burned down.
My sister's a smart gal, and we are both history enthusiasts. She can be awfull stubborn sometimes, and she just couldn't believe that the acid didn't just eat all the bones up!
But G.W.Bush was asked to go in there by the Iraqi people. Saddam Hussein was hardly a poor, helpless man! Yeah, I can imagine he was scared, but not anymore than his thousands of victims who were also scared when they crossed him! Oh, and you heard he had a "Children's prison", where he kept the children of his political opponents! Our troops found out they were there, and released them from this prison.
Those poor little/young victims of Saddam's swarmed the troops with thanks! But for crying out loud, a prison for little kids who hadn't done anything to Saddam? And these are just a few examples. Not to mention those men who came to Washington to visit with GWB in the oval office; to thank him for letting them come to America to get new prosthetic hands! They also observed our ceremonies at Arlington Cemetery. These men had their hands cut off by Saddam for only handling American money in their places of business!
Then there were the Kwaitis(sp?)13 years ago. Saddam just decided that Kwuait belonged to him, and he just rolled on in, and tormented and imprisoned them too, before us and our allies came in there. So you see, in all due respect, who was/is the conquerer?
Excuse me, in that next-to-last line in last paragraph, that was "we and our allies"! That didn't sound right, I know!
