Saddam's Appeal Failed

rape

what if both rapists raped for fun but rapist two chose to rape your mates and rapist one chose to rape only other rapists ?

Also,

I think it's safe to assume that you can't really draw a direct parallel between Saddams sadistic totalitarian regime and the slightly overbearing right-wing conservative regime in the states.

We get a very distorted view of what life in the states is like because the malcontents are actually allowed to publicly mouth off about it - something you tend not to be allowed to do under oppressive regimes. This translates to us only ever hearing the bad side of life in the states because those that are content (i'll assume they're the majority) don't need to make any noise about it. The complaints are a mark of a free society - do you remember hearing any complaints from Iraqis about Saddam ?

I'm not saying that America is completely bad, just that the governments of that country are as crazy as Sadam, just in a differing sense. I think that America has superb degree of free speech, although Wilhem Reich might disagree. They didn't like him writing that lack of decent orgasm was the cause of neurosis so they smahsed up his lab, burnt his books and threw him in jail where he consequently died.

I should have been more specific throughout my communication. I am talking about the American government who exist not in democracy that is claimed but in what's called a polyarchy. Basically, the parties which can compete against one another are actually two factions of the same rich elite. A rich elite who has vested interests in power and wealth.

These people have acumulated more suffering an destruction towards the world that Sadam could ever have achieved. I really don't have time to goto in this because I could be here for a very long time. I will mention though the control America has over the UN security council and the sanctions which were imposed upon iraq after the gulf war. These sanctions stopped medical supplies, food and basically essential living materials from entering the country. 100 000 children died from those sanctions. In Indonesia, America and Britian supplied and encouraged General Surharto (I think thats his name?) to throw a coup and kick president sukarno out of office because he was implementing plans to remove the the World Bank and IMF - insititutions that direct the economoics of a country towards prvitisation and EXTERNAL investement. America supplied a list of communist and socialist leaders to be executed whilst offering military support and direction to the extermination of hundreds of thousands of communists of socialists. Additionally they supported Indonesia, under Suhartos rule, with its invasion of the East Timor, after the Dutsch had given up their control, in order to gain possesion of the wealth of resources including off shore oil. Again this resulted in the slaughter of thousands or hundreds of thousands of these people. The spoils were divided between America of course, England and Australia. All of these actions can be classed as genocide, regardless of the means, if it seem brutish of beurocratic, it still finds the same end. The list goes on and on and on and on and on.

I need to leave it at that though mr poopipe. I really suggest that you consider some sources of information aside from the mainstream view. Or have you explored these avenues? You can easily find on a dl program documentaries by John Pilger, Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn. They're the best starting points in at least considering an alternative view of American hegemony and its plans.

Sorry if spellings crap, haven't got time to check.
