Bush Took My Job& Killed My Sons Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak my mind. I lost my job this past year. When Clinton was president I was secure and prosperous, but in the last year, we had to close our operations. We simply could not compete with foreign labor. This foreign labor worked for low pay under very bad conditions. They worked very long shifts, and many even died on the job. This competition could hardly be called “fair.” I was forced out of the place where I had worked for 34 years. Not a single government program was there to help me. How can Bush call himself “compassionate?” Far worse, I lost two of my sons in Bush’s evil war in Iraq. They gave their lives for their country, and for what? So that Bush’s oil buddies can get rich. My pain of losing my sons is indescribable. While it is trivial next to the loss of my sons, I regret to say that I also lost my home. I simply have nothing left. How can Bush call himself a Christian when he neglects people like me? I am a senior citizen with various medical problems. I’m not in a position where I can begin a new career. I was reduced to the point where I had to live in a hole in a ground, all because of President Bush. And when the authorities found me there, did they have any compassion for my misfortune and ailments? No, I was arrested. Mr. Bush, I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a compassionate man! I dare you to look me in the face and tell me you are a Christian! If I had any money left, I would donate it to the Democratic Party. If Al Gore had been elected in 2000 I would still have a job, a home, and most importantly, my dear sons! Regards, Saddam Hussein ---

Win/win situation.** While i support the war, so to speak, i think that more diplomatic avenues should have been exhausted before sending in ground troops. The death of thousands of people is never a good thing, no matter how you look at it. Yes, Saddam was a horrid dictator, but he DID NOT pose the immenent threat that the Bush administration used as its excuse to start this whole mess. And i disagree with the “we sent a message” bullshit. Look at Israel/Palestine. The israeli’s could wipe ever palestinian off the face of the planet in a day, but does that stop them from lighting off another suicide bomb? Hell no. These people cant be reasoned with. They dont have the same value for life as our society does. If we choose to take the route of violence, sure we would eventually win, but at what cost? ---

bottom line is, we got rid of an evil fucker and the shit WAS unilateral (england, poland, and a host of middle eastern regimes)… we had to go in eventually. Russia sent them arms, shipments arrived the week b4 the war, Russia would always veto any UN action and if one of the big dogs vetoes, it doesn’t happen. ---

(btw he didnt kill millions) why arent we in SE Asia still were millions on millions were slaughterd by Kmer Rouge or in Africa or in fookin Cuba for all that matters as its a mere 90 miles off shore and the ass in power has killed, oppressed and murdered thousands in our own back yard. we are not supposed to wage offensive wars; only defensive. and if history tells you anything you never wage a war without global support.
