Saddam get's death penalty; but when is Bush's court date?
I'm sure by now you've heard that Saddam has been sentenced to death. The corporate press has gone into a blood-thirsty frenzy, in an attempt to build up patriotism, viciousness and pro-war attitudes.
And what historical revisionism that same press has fallen into! One story by the Associated Press describes a situation "... after America's decision to invade Iraq in 2003 and depose its dictator."
This is like an Orwell book come to life! First the U.S. claimed it was invading Iraq because the government there had ties to Al-Qaeda and "weapons of mass destruction." Fast forward almost four years and now the U.S. invaded to depose a dictator! It's doublethink! "Eurasia is the enemy. Eurasia has always been the enemy."
And then there's the coincidence that this just happened to occur two days before the U.S. midterm elections.
But all of this aside, I have to ask, when is Bush's court date? He is responsible for more murders than Saddam is by far. When will he go in front of a court for war crimes? How about the rest of the war criminals around him? 655,000 deaths in Iraq alone. That number is much higher than what even Saddams enemies say he's responsible for.
But Bush will never go to court for war crimes under the current system. Neither will his cohorts. Why? Because it's all a big scam. There are international courts, which are used to try figureheads of groups and classes that oppose imperialism. U.S. government and military members, as well as all other citizens, are exempt from being tried in them. What a joke! What kind of "international" courts are these? Can you say "Kangaroo"?
I say, put the CEOs of Haliburton on trial, in a people's court, and set Saddam free. Let the people of Iraq deal with that criminal on their own. Enough of the puppetry and all around bullshit.
