Democracy Hypocrisy, Part 8

Evil Is As Evil Does

Perhaps Americans don’t notice, but the rest of the world does see the double standard applied when Saddam Hussein is put on trial for war crimes and crimes against humanity, while US, UK, and Israeli government officials commit far greater crimes by illegally invading countries, targeting civilian populations, and torturing detainees.

I sure noticed how the US government supported and funded Saddam when he was busy making war on Iran and killing off the Kurds. Now, he has been found guilty of ordering the deaths of 140+ Shi’ites. These poor people were living in a village where someone tried to kill Saddam. Saddam got his revenge.

I wonder if the US is going to put the CIA on trial for the car bombs (under Allawi) in the 1990’s in Baghdad. They were attempts to kill Saddam – but instead killed school children. Or how about putting Bush and Blair on trial for their “shock and awe(ful)” campaign in 2003 to kill off Saddam – that only killed civilians.

Or, more appropriately, how about the two assaults on the city of Fallujah? Some of the people there (a very small number) killed off some “security contractors” that happened to be Americans. That was in 2004. How is that any different than what Saddam did?

More HYPOCRISY.

One headline last week said:

Unclear if US Republicans Will Profit From Saddam Trial Verdict.

Profit? They should be on trial with him! They were aided and abetting him when he was doing his dirty deeds!!! They were selling him arms and intelligence!!! The stinking hypocrites!!!

However, I must add that the US Republicans did not profit from the announcement of Saddam's verdict. They lost BIG TIME in the election.
