I'm not eating well these days. I get so lazy sometimes. Sunday I was so hungry after church, so I tagged along to Toni Montana's pad in Newport North. Dante and I tried to scare the bejezzers out of Tone Toni Tony, but it turns out she doesn't check when someone bangs on the door. We got some pizza, drank some apple cider, and watched punk'd, wildboys, and Friday. Oh, it was great. We laughed till we were all sore.
The whole Saddam capture is a bunch of bullsh*t. It's not him that was the aggressor. The US put him in power. The US supplied arms to him. The US left him in power after the first war. The US then proceeded to bomb the hell into Iraq. That's something you don't hear about in the news. There have been several hundred thousand "strategic" bombings on Iraq. Against civilian homes... factories... farms... people. Poor souls, only poorer because they were born over fields of black gold. Then came the sanctions. Half a million Iraqi children have died. And we wonder why the US is hated so bitterly across the globe. Now that Saddam is in captivity, will it end? Probably not. Bush now has something to point to when we accuse him of conjuring up an unjustified, uncivil, evil war. I sure if he dumped billions of dollars into the war effort, we could catch a basically powerless Saddam Hussein. But what about the kids would won't be able to afford to go to college anymore after the incredibly deep cuts to the education budget in states like California, which has one of the best publicly funded higher education systems in the US... why cut financial aid for thousands when you can stop the manufacture of a few missles? Why ignore the threat of North Korea's nuclear program (which is in full swing) and go after a nation whose children are perishing and it's "weapons of mass destruction" are nowhere to be found? Now Bush is funding the rebuilding of Iraq, except that he's refusing to grant contracts to companies from nations that did not support the war. As if the international community wasn't already split, mostly against supporting the US. The US tried to fund a $5 million contract to rebuild one Iraqi factory, but had problems in the negotiation. One Iraqi contractor rebuilt it for only $300,000. There is a strench of something very wrong with our administration. People are still calling for the execution of Saddam. A leader less tyrannical as the ones still in power in countries around the world. Except those countries don't control oil. Bush, the killer of 152 as the ex-governor of Texas, is the strongest voice in favor of death for Saddam. The United Nations does not support the death penalty. The whole of the European Union has abolished the death penalty. Why should be the executive of the US be the murderer of the western world?
I wonder if these people believe that if we kill Saddam, he will bleed oil. I really wonder. God help us.
