Now, now, not so fast!!! According to Saggy Boobs Sarandon, these little brown-skinned Iraquis don't have the same dreams and aspirations that Americans do--they might not be able to handle the complexities of democracy and capitalism. And who are we to say they'd be better off in a democracy? (In other words, the slaves are better off kept on the plantation.....)

“Let us find a way to resist fundamentalism that leads to violence -- fundamentalism of all kinds, in al Qaeda and within our government. And what is our fundamentalism?

Cloaked in patriotism and out doctrine of spreading democracy throughout the world, our fundamentalism is business, the unfettered spread of our economic interests throughout the globe. Our resistance to this war should be our resistance to profit at the cost of human life.”

I'm SURE the Iraqis DON'T have the same dreams and aspirations as an American does. Under sodom insane, did they even KNOW how to hold to dreams and aspirations??? Or DARE to dream?

And I'm SURE they WON'T know how to handle the 'complexities of democracy/capitalism'. But again, that's something they really couldn't even dream of under this butcher of bagdad. And I'm also SURE there are those who are able to step up and help them get 'situated'. From all I've read, there are MANY Iraqis in the USA who long for their homeland and have TASTED freedom, dreams, democracy, and capitalism.

Susan's an idiot. Political democracy requires economic democracy. Communism and socialism aren't economic democracy. They don't treasure the unique gifts people have and they don't allow for those gifts to be developed. MS Windows never would have come from the USSR.

Maybe she feels guilty about her $20,000 speaking fee that she charges, even to charities.

According to Saggy Boobs Sarandon

Thanks for clarifying that for me.

I've always wondered why the skank had two pairs of knees.

Well, Sarandon is right about one thing. This crisis is the result of the conflict between socialism and capitalism. And fundamental islam does not want the western form of economy in their world, it leads to too much freedom.

Now I happen to believe that freedom and capitalism are good things for the world to embrace. So sorry for those who wish to stop it, they will really have to kill a lot of good folks. (Fortunately, these same people are against guns), so I guess they will hurl words at the onslaught of unfettered freedom and free markets.

" profit at the cost of human life", Susan,you dodo, describes what Saddam and the BA'ATH PARTY have done to Iraq for the past 25 years, and that's the least of his crimes. Update your rhetoric, please, because as a 50-something year old woman, you make a good idealistic teenager.
