I took a look at the message board too and its running about 10 to 1 flaming Oprah for not presenting a balanaced show.
What balance do you need? Show a relative of Saddam's on there that is living the high life?
One of the posts said that people should look for "the facts" and then brought up that old flea biten nugget that somehow we've caused 500k Iraqi children to die.
I'll catch the episode next week when it is rerun. Hopefully Oprah will stress the awfulness of women's lives over there. That tends to go over better with her audience.

They ran out of time and the audience still had lots of questions for the guests. She said that the would continue and it would be shown on Oxygen tonight.

These guys, between the one who could make the case for war intellectually, coupled with the guy who was arrested and tortured for making a joke about Saddam really gave it the one two punch. Whether listening with your head or your heart, the answer is the same...let's roll!

The Iraqi defector that Oprah interviewed described one aspect of Saddam's depravity regarding women that struck the audience especially hard. He explained that Saddam has defined, government positions with IDs, etc., for RAPISTS. That fact hit everyone right between the eyes!

I took the 3 minutes and registered on her message board. There is a good chunk that are pissed at America and Oprah but the Pro-Bush/Iraq group is represented and I passed along my thoughts. You should and we all should in support on this.

That is too funny.. but the populace isn't going to go look at the Message board. I LOVE IT!!! DU is hard at work. We should start posting POSITIVE COMMENTS at the Message board and wipe their views off the board!! :o)

That is the real meaning of what "freeping" used to be.

I just watched the "after the show" segment. Someone brought up that allegation about dying people under sanctions and the Iraqi retorted that Saddam is allowed to sell as much oil as needed to buy adequate food and medicine. If people are dying, Saddam is keeping the money for himself and not spending on food and medicine.
