I knew it was bad in Iraq but until I read these stories I had no idea how bad it was. What I don't understand is how the media can attack President Bush on the removal of the Saddam regime including his two sons after reading what a brutal dictator he was while in power along with his two brutal sons.

As for Howard Dean's attacks on the President along with Kerry and others over those 16 words -- I find it despicable! If the American people were told the truth by our media about the shallow attacks by the DemocRATs on President Bush, maybe they would see for themselves what unqualified candidates are running for President on the DemocRAT ticket with the most unqualified of all Hillary waiting in the wings.

I am madder at the media after doing this today then I was before and I was absolutely disgusted before!

. . . The Muslims were the first slavers, Africa to the East not Africa to the New World. The Portugese. Dutch, French, and British were responsible for the majority of the slave trade. The United States had a very small part in the slave trade, when the United States was formed abolition had begun at at the behest of the United States. Of the 12 million slave brought to the New World 500,000 were landed in the United States 5% of the total.
History taught in the United States insinuates that slavery was the result of the Uniated States and the United States only---What false-hood and distortion of the true facts.

'course the treatment of each of the descendants of the 500,000 who were imported from Africa as slaves is another matter altogether, but from a certain point of view the fact that they even had descendants is better than the fate of Saddam's victims, perhaps more numerous than the slaves imported to North America, almost all of them before the Constitution of the US was framed.
