OH NO!!! More "SADDAM-LOVERS"!!! More "SADDAM-APOLOGISTS"!!!

[LynnTheDem]

Yeah they're just stating a FACT, but it doesn't demonize the "worse than Hitler monster"!

The Telegraph UK is a SADDAM-LOVING SADDAM-APOLOGIST TRAITOR ANTI-AMERICAN BASTARD GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY!!!

:eyes:

Black market organ trade is Baghdad's new growth industry

The expertise needed to carry out what is a relatively simple surgical procedure is in abundance, however - the legacy of an era 15 years ago (before US-enforced crippling sanctions) when Saddam Hussein's national health service met First World standards.

NO FACTS ALLOWED! Hussein & his government MUST be DEMONIZED at all times. LIES are welcome. FACTS are not.

Obviously the Telegraph is unaware of this.

1. They will be dealth with.

And they'd better not talk about educational standards in Iraq during the Saddam era either. Or the fact that Iraq's women were the most liberated in the Middle East, or or or...

This won't be tolerated.

2. May God help em if they EVER dare mention that

IRAQ had MORE PhDs per capita than America.

And they'll need more than just God's help if they EVER dared mention how Iraq's LITERACY RATE was HIGHER than America's!

(Cuba's health svcs and literacy rate are both higher than the US's, and by a huge margin, but DON'T MENTION that!)

DON'T MENTION THE FACTS!

3. I'll stipulate that Saddam's regime was a despotic one

And the same could be said for China, Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Burma, Uzbekistan, Saudi Arabia and Kazakhstan. But none of these countries represent a threat to the United States, meaning that it's the responsibility of the people in those countries to overthrow their dictatorships and install democracy in the ways that suit them--if that's what they want.

4. I think your list is incomplete

you left off the despotic regime in the United States of 'Merica.

5. I'd just been thinking the same thing, reading the list.

:D

But yep, it is the CITIZENS' responsibility, NOT ours. It is NOT our right to determine other nations' governments.

And funny thing, even the IRAQIS have been saying this for the past 3 years.

But then, what would the IRAQIS know about anything! Just coz they had the highest number of PhDs on the planet and a literacy rate almost double America's, and Iraq being their own country, they think they know something, SHEESH!

6. Conditions of Medical Care

http://electroniciraq.net/news/1930.shtml

April 2005

"Eventually Dr. Al-Brhim graciously interrupted his schedule to meet with us and tell us about the state of medical care in Basrah, which he said has seriously deteriorated since the US-led invasion. Actually he said it is has gotten much worse in the last ten years. Medical care is still free for Iraqis but medications are scarce and there is an increase in cancer rates of all kinds, especially acute leukemia. Breast cancer is up 30%, and although in the U.S. where breast cancer is often treatable, Dr. Al-brhim said they don't have even the basic therapies. He explained that no one is providing the medications and money that was promised. If and when any medications are delivered they are often close to expiration. In addition since the Iraqi government requires testing for its authenticity which takes about six months, by the time he receives them, the expiration date has passed. There is added chaos in the national health system because the Minister of Health position has changed hands three times since the occupation."
"I left realizing this is just one glimpse of the chaos that the people of Iraq are experiencing with years of sanctions and then the occupation. Many of the people I meet keep saying that is not liberation, things are much worse than under Saddam. "Always promises" they say, "but nothing changes. Bush is just like Saddam, full of lies."
