Saddam Nation

6 November 2006

Obviously you will have heard of the forthcoming hanging of Saddam Hussein. You will have no doubt also noticed that it’s the US Midterm elections, and that the timing of the sentencing is widely regarded as no coincidence.

Does anybody really find this turn of events surprising anymore?

The manipulation of the courts is easy for US government in its own country, let alone a third world foreign nation it has systematically destroyed.

Tying in with the other craze of the age (the first being control masquerading as protection) – how on earth are YouTube going to keep the hanging off their servers? I doubt any major western broadcaster will show it, but it is bound to be filmed. Sadly, it will become the most popular video of our times.

Does Saddam deserve this?

If you thinking “yes”, what are you basing that choice on? If you haven’t met him, and personally see him commit these reported acts then how are you so sure he is guilty? Propaganda is a very powerful tool, and is used against us every day. If you think Saddam is worth killing, just think for a second what that means.

You believe a string of letters, written by a journalist – someone paid to fill space, not tell the truth; or a set of words spoken by a politician – someone who speaks to gain popularity, not to spread knowledge.

You believe these people so much, that you think someone should die?

Words are a powerful thing.
