Now, Bush wants to assassinate Saddam. And Congress agrees. Gebhardt thinks it is a good idea, but, like a
typical politician, he never explained why in his tv appearance last night. Moreover, it is probably
illegal to kill a foreign leader. The part about its legality was beeped out on the tv news I watched last
night. When we we declare war on Iraq and that is what we will do when the CIA and others kill
Saddam, we will declare war on the entire Muslim nations, and there are more Muslims than there are Christians.
It will be the beginning of the end of US wealth and dominance.
Why has Bush targeted Saddam? Could it be for oil?. It may be in the Bush family's financial interest to do so.
Don't forget Poppy Bush's connection to the Carlyle group and W's own very strong connection to
the US oil industry. Taking Saddam out, may be a way for the US oil companies and those who support
them to enrich themselves. There are many dictators in the world. W has invited a few to The White House,
especially those from Central Asia. A few months back, the crazy Karimov, the dictator from
Uzbekistan, visited The White House. He is a brutal man.
"The deteriorating human-rights situation in Uzbedistan was high-lighted by Human Rights Watch's Acacia
Shields, who gave chilling testimony to a U.S. congressional panel in September 2000. "Ubek police
and security forces have arrested thousands of pious Muslims. These arrests are illegal and discriminatory..."
"At the same time, torture is widely used to extract confessions. Generally people are brutally beaten
or killed. But there are other forms of torture, including putting needles into people's nails, or putting
plastic bags over people's heads to suffocate them." (from pages 126 and 127)

Why doesn't Bush attack the dictators in Central Asia? Could it be because they have agreed on
a deal over oil?
We must demand that Gebhardt and other Democrats tell us why they want to kill Saddam and start
an international war? Gebhardt, other Congressional members must explain to the American people why
they want to kill Saddam when the US sanctions the existence of other other dictators?
It should be obvious that Bush will push the country further into debt. What will happen to our pensions?
Where will social security and medicare be when we need them? Don't forget that
W and his father and members of Congress will receive their pensions regardless of what
happens to the rest of us.
If we wage war against the rest of the world, we will harm only ourselves and continuous war may ultimately
destroy us. Americans had better realize that when we assassinate leaders of other countries, we invite
retaliation. Do you want your city wiped out by a dirty bomb?
