Recap of Yesterday's News
Nothing is so stale as yesterday's news. It is a dictated truth that news must ever be fresh. But sometimes it is good to rehash and re-think old news, when passions have cooled and we are not caught up in the emotion of the moment.
When listening to or reading rhetoric about Saddam, the terrorists, and the crimes committed by each, I am struck that the speaker/writer could be speaking of the United States. Only the names be changed; the list of crimes and offenses can readily be laid at our door and the names of the war criminals changed to those of our leaders.

A dictator created then destroyed by America
By Robert Fisk
In the aftermath of the international crimes against humanity of 2001 we have tortured, we have murdered, we have brutalised and killed the innocent - we have even added our shame at Abu Ghraib to Saddam's shame at Abu Ghraib - and yet we are supposed to forget these terrible crimes as we applaud the swinging corpse of the dictator we created. http://tinyurl.com/yf53xc

Are we, the people of the world saying that it is the right of America or anyone with the power to do so, to take by force what they want from whoever they want? Are we, the people of the world, saying that it is the right of the rapist to rape? Are we, the people of the world, saying that it is the right of the bandit or the highway robber to hold you up and take from you what he wishes by force? Because in my opinion, by remaining silent, that is exactly what we will be saying. You decide what you want to do. I have already made my decision.. http://tinyurl.com/ygfsau===

"It is only in folk tales, children's stories, and the journals of intellectual opinion that power is used wisely and well to destroy evil. The real world teaches very different lessons, and it takes willful and dedicated ignorance to fail to perceive them." --Noam Chomsky
