| Inside Saddam's Reign of Terror (Nat'l Geographic tonight) |
| 2006-10-29 |
| "For 24 years, Saddam Hussein and his Baath Party executed political rivals, Shias, Kurds and anyone else who dared disagree - or even tell a joke about the dictator. A chorus of testimonials, unearthed mass graves and discovered documents now reveal theextent to which Saddam and his Baath Party tortured, maimed, raped and murdered Iraqi citizens. As he faces trial for his crimes, NGC goes inside his reign of terror - with rare videotape that shows Baath Party members carrying out Saddam's brutal laws." (Saw clips of the torture today on Fox News - disturbing. Kudos to NGC for running it.) |

| #2 but of course Iraqis would be better off he was reinstalled and Uday/Qusay were dug up and reanimated. "Stability" must be retained Many Iraqi bloggers are whinging the same tune. and it be muy galling, some if not most Iraqi bloggers are blaming us [coalition] for the sectarian violence in Iraq. heh Like teams of wild horses couldn't stop the thrill killers from killing each other. I think at this point we should forget the Democracy project altogether, put it on *HOLD* at least, and have friendly Iraqi military units go postal. A few brutal weeks of absolute blitzkrieg on the offending neighborhoods and towns should do the trick. Marshal Law and any berg or neighborhood exporting terror gets raised to the ground after that. |
