Saddam's Iraq = Hitler's Germany
1) Torture, mass killings
2) Youth brigade
3) "leadership" by fear and threats
4) revocation of food and water in order to control the population
And this is all I can think of this late at night.

Right. Go to your local used book store & pick up "Lenin's Tomb" and/or "The Black Book of Communism" in the (recent) history section.

We, on the Right, knew what Saddam was. Winston warned us about people like this. Yes he did tho' way before my time. We just rented the HBO made movie on this topic "The Gathering Storm." Worth viewing, couldn't believe it was Albert Finney as WSC !

5)Saddam, if still alive, will not be captured alive. Like Hitler, he will commit suicide or do something along the lines of a martyr.
He just seems like the type, which scares me a bit.

John Loftus
on WABC Batchelor and Alexander show
said he thinks that they may be the missing Kuwaiti prisoners
whom Saddam promised to return
after the Gulf War
but never did.

I thought that this was a well-written article. Such bureaucratically monstrous treatment of human beings demonstrates the validity of analogies with Hitler, Stalin, Franco, Mussolini, Mao, Pol Pot, Pinochet, and Castro.
If "peace" meant sitting by with knowledge of such atrocities, and we good few were all proponents of such "peace," then we would ourselves eventually become victims of these same atrocities.
One ought to have wondered indeed whether the derelict U.N. was chartered merely to prevent the scourge of international bellum per se, "war," or to prevent also the equivalent horror of intra-national bureaucratic mass murder or slavery. But such a philosophical question now seems meaningless and moot, because we know that the U.N. has as its primary purpose deliberate interference with United States and British economic, political, and strategic interests.
And so we are not going to suck very many more of the eggs which the U.N. has been laying, to turn a phrase.
Looking ahead, the wretchedly astonishing iniquity of these 'Butchers of Babylon' likely will pale in comparison with those abominations which the free world is going to eventually uncover in the fearsome necropolises of North Korea.

Saddam is dead.
I have been feeling this "in my bones" for about the last 24 hours.
I can feel his evil spirit linger in the air like dust.
We must all be strong and not let it infect us.

Maybe,....These are 200 'victims' (used instead of mice/rabbits, etc.) in countrywide training in WMD programs (failures)?
But they all have bullet holes to the head.
Don't be 'fooled' by the details!

Yesterday, a French publication,
http://www.les4verites.com, had a cartoon on its front page (that they've since yanked) showing an American soldier growling to a stack of "Iraki" skull and bones:
"Ça y'est! Vous êtes libres!" -- "That's it! You are free!"
Today the cartoon would be quite properly addended to have the skulls haunting and griping at the French cartoonist "if not for your ilk of yellow pukes, we'd still be alive."
No freaking wonder they pulled the cartoon.

Remember that the Ba'ath Party was consciously modeled on the NSDAP(Nazis) of Germany during the Vichy regime's control of Lebanon and Syria during WWII.
Iraq is not some backward desert grazingland; it is a 20th Century totalitarian state, and bears all the hallmarks of its fascist and marxist brothers.
The Iraqis are a deeply-scarred people.

Oh, and the French?
Execrable, as always.
But they are shameless; we'll be hearing lots from Froggie.

Any chance you've seen that cartoon and have a copy I could get hold of? If I only could find a copy of yesterday's front page -- but I couldn't raise it at the website.
Get this:
I had mailed a few copies in emails, and I'd saved the email. But all I have now in the email is that box with a red x in it. I cannot imagine why it didn't save as an embedded image. And everybody who received my email has the same problem today. I'm angry with myself for failing to save it also to my harddrive -- but who knew the situation would blow up in the faces of the publisher so deliciously today? It wasn't until this new broke that I was inspired to ink-in that afterword in case anyone missed why "The 4 Truths" would have wanted to pull the cartoon. <G>
Oh what a lost opportunity!

'Whoever they are, they have been desecrated in their death. No one should ever treat the dead like this,' said Sergeant Simon Brain I'm of the school that believes the desecrations most likely occurred before the deaths.
