Yes. You still know where he is. Under Saddam he would have vanished along with his family. You really want to argue that? Google mass graves and Iraq.. >>> >> >> http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7783608.stm >> Thousands of Iraqis have demanded the release of a local TV reporter >> who threw his shoes at US President George W Bush at a Baghdad news >> conference. > > Classes of Iraqis who were better off under Saddam > 1) Women > 2) Sunnis > 3) Reporters who throw shoes at Bush Number that were not. The 5 million of Shia currently occupying mass graves courtesy of Saddam and the 10 million he imprisoned and tortured. (Yes. *really* tortured, Electricity to the Genitals, Acid, Shredders, Burning.., not parading around in underwear.) 6-12 million Kurds So off hand I can think of 10 of millions of people that are far better off now and one reporter that isn't. Actually, the very fact that he had the guts to toss a shoe, shows you just how free the are. Kind of like the Code Pink Ass Hats here that claim they live under a Fascist system. What seems to be lost on them is that If they really did, they'd be dead. =c= _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
