Print this out for a peacenik you love. Make them read it. If they still say war against Saddam is wrong, then you know either their soul or their brain is dead.

Excellent read. Bump!

Satan, the real one, has led many astray, has he not?

What an unbelievable woman!

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

why are you defending Saddam? Why didn’t one slogan demand that Saddam be brought to justice?

99% of the "so-called" peace marchers were just plain bums.

The other 1% were merchants of pure evil and hatred!

[EggsAckley]

I hesitate to even CALL them peace marchers. Their message was loud and clear: they hate George Bush, pure and simple. I get the feeling that, now that we have adults running the show, the childish liberals are peeing their pants.

We can't even imagine what these people have been through. I read the most intense article the other night about the chemical attack on Halabja. I've searched all over for it (it's somewhere in the FreeRepublic archives) but have been unable to find it.

Reading that article really opened my eyes. Not only to what has been done to the Iraquis and Kurds, but what Saddam has in store for us. It was written by a journalist who interviewed some of those who managed to survive. They told about the attack in excruciating detail and it was heart wrenching. Like I said, the reality these people have lived with is more horrible than anything we can even imagine.

About 10 years ago I had a roomate from Iraq...a college student. His family lives in Baghdad, they are Christian. He said that Saddam is an evil, cruel man who rules with fear, and was not surprised at all when he invaded Kuwait. Its all an image he puts up. Only the stupid believe that Saddam is harmless.

I appreciated what Jack Straw wrote: 'I joined the peace protesters in the Sixties. Believe me, this is different'

[A_perfect_lady]

I've come to the conclusion that "peace" marchers know full well that thousands have and will die under Saddam. They just don't want any killed by American forces. So you see, they don't care if people die, they just don't want it traced to them. And that's all there is to it.

Printing.

SADDAM-FREE in '03

It's interesting to read this, and wonder why the Islamic protest the Palestinian situation, but not this. Secondly, it's interesting to compare these numbers with the 2 million killed by Mohammadens in Sudan, and wonder why there is no will to root that government out also.

[McGavin999]

That's it! Thank you so much. I've got it bookmarked now. THANK YOU!

[McGavin999]

Ooops, no, that's not the one I was looking for. It was one that actually interviewed the victems. It was very detailed, talking about being in the basement during the raid and then fleeing for their lives. It went into detail about the smells and the effects it had on people, like the driver of the truck who was helping them to escape, who just stopped the truck and wandered off to die.

I really wish I had bookmarked that thing.

The anti-war idiots want Saddam disarmed without war. Let's PRETEND that this evil man destroyed all of his weapons which would come into compliance with the UN....would Saddam be allowed to stay in Iraq as the evil dictator?

[ChemistCat]

My neighbor says all of these accounts are lies, and this is really about Dubya wanting to avenge the assassination attempt on his father and "put all that oil in his pocket."

She's a good person--I give her a key to my house when I go out of town without hesitation. She has her head screwed on straight about a lot of things, though politics is not one of them. So I am completely unable to fathom the depths of denial that can paint our President a monster and Iraq's President as ...misunderstood?

EVEN AUSCHWITZ has been called a myth and a lie. Some people are just not going to believe in evil--except, of course, in the rich white American culture that produced our President.
