The State of the Union: Lies about a Dishonest War

I think taking out Saddam's regime was a good thing. And, because
Saddam failed to live up to his part of the agreement made at the
end of Desert Storm, it was not a preemptive strike. Rather, it
was something which should have been done sooner.


I saw a nice quote from the new Iraqi Foreign Minister
recently appointed by the Iraqi Governing council,
a gentleman by the name of Hoshyar Zebari.

On his first visit to the UN he was introduced to a meeting
of the UN security Council by Kofi Annan
and said the following.

" Look beyond your differences over the decision to go to
war over Iraq. Settling scores with the United States coalition
will not help bring stability to the Iraqi people.

The United Nations failed to help rescue the Iraqi people
from a murderous tyranny that lasted over 35 years.
The United Nations must not fail the Iraqi people again."

Not a big surprise to hear such noises coming from a puppet of the US.

Even if you do think that, it is much better than the noises that came from
the former Iraqi leader's puppets, which were more often than not screams or
mumbled prayers as they were shot and dumped into all of those mass graves
we have been finding--or do you think those were all fabricated, too?

A lot of that was probably true. Once again, I am not saying Saddam was
anything other than a brutal tryant.

If a civil war breaks out, however, there will likely be more deaths
than Saddam caused.

Hoshyar Zebari is no puppet

He is a member of the KDP (Kurdistan Democratic Party) who was
fighting the regime of Saddam Hussein long before they were perceived
as a threat to the USA. Having seen his own people gassed and bombed
by the Iraqi regime is apt to colour his views a little and he has been
VERY critical of the US from time to time. In fat he has been calling
for the UN to take command of the situation rather than have a
US military governor calling the shots.

I'd suggest that calling a man who spent 15 years as a guerilla
fighter in the mountains of Kurdistan a puppet was a cheap shot
but that's just too much of an understatement.

The UN in my dimension has Libya heading its "Human Rights Commission".
Who heads it in your dimension?


(Sounds like we oughta swap, so we both get what we want.)
